This is a reminder to parents and guardians carpooling their children to school in the morning and afternoon. It is imperative that you stop at the stop sign to allow buses to enter the campus. When carpoolers are allowed on campus, please pull all the way down toward the field, allowing as many cars onto the campus as possible.
Please make sure students are exiting the car at the top of the hill from 7:30-7:50 am unless directed by staff to do otherwise. Students should be getting out anywhere along the sidewalk in front of Northfield and not waiting until their car reaches the stop sign. Please also be aware that on rainy days traffic is significantly heavier. Even on rainy days drop off is at the top of the hill until all buses are clear and staff wave cars into the lower lot.
To ensure a safe, efficient end to the school day and minimize disruptions to classroom instruction, please keep the following guidelines in mind if you need to pick up your student early:
- Dismissal Plan Changes: All requested changes to regular dismissal plans must be reported no later than 2:00 PM.
- Early Dismissal Cut-Off: The deadline for early student pick-up is promptly at 2:10 PM.
- You must also present a valid ID that matches the information we have on file.
These cut-off times allow our main office staff adequate time to process requests and ensure all students are accounted for before general dismissal begins.
Please check your child’s schedule prior to requesting an early pick-up. If your child is scheduled for lunch, recess, or physical education, locating them and having them report to the office may take extra time.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our end-of-day operations running smoothly!
