Morning Arrival:

• Students may be dropped off in the mornings from 8:45am – 9:10am.
• Parents may drop off in the mornings via either drop off option:
  • Morning Carline following the traffic flow for drop off shown on the map below.
  • Walk In– Parents are permitted to walk with their students in to their classrooms, but please bring them to the Gym or Playground (K3-K5 students only on nice weather days) and wait with their class there until the whole class walks to the classroom building.  Teachers and Parent Assistants will be present in the Gym/Playground to take attendance and walk with each class at 9:05am.
• Early Hour Students: Students who take an 8:00am class may still be dropped off at Door B starting at 7:50am for their early hour class.
• Doors will close at 9:15am as the class day starts at 9:10am.

Afternoon Dismissal:

• Early Dismissals– If you need an early dismissal for any reason, please communicate the time you need to pick up ahead of time to a staff member (not the teacher) via email. All early dismissals must be completed by 2:00pm. We will not be able to accommodate early dismissals between 2:00-2:30pm as we are preparing for dismissal.
• There will be NO AFTERNOON CARLINE PICK UP.
• ALL K3-5th grade students will be in the Gym, seated by color groups by LAST NAME:  Red (A-F), Blue (G-Q), & Green (R-Z). Parents (or their designee) should park and walk to the Gym.
• All parents or pick up designees, MUST BRING THEIR PARKING PERMIT or a picture of it to show when exiting the building with students.  You may not pick up your student(s) without the parking permit. “No tag, no kid”.  Please print your last name on the back of your car tag and the student’s first names under the Last Name with a sharpie.
• Please note, if you arrive before 2:35pm the classes will all be walking from the classroom building to the Gym for dismissal. Please do not pull your students out of line as this could inadvertently cause the teacher/staff members to think a child may be missing. Once all children have been seated in the Gym, parents will be let in to pick up their students.

• Late Fees will be assessed to parent’s accounts in the following increments:
  • Late pick up between 3:00-3:15pm will result in a $25 late fee assessed to the parent account.  The late fee must be paid before the student’s next day of class for them to attend.
  • Late pick up of 3:15pm or later will result in a $50 late fee assessed to the parent account.  The late fee must be paid before the student’s next day of class for them to attend.

Carpooling:

• If you plan to pick up someone else’s children, you must have a copy of or the actual parking permit for the student(s) you are picking up.
• Make sure all parking tags for any students you are picking up are visible and marked with last name and students’ first names.

Please be patient and courteous as we work out the kinks during the first few weeks. Please also understand that all these policies are for the safety of your children.

PARENT PARKING:

• All family members who drive and park on campus to serve or attend a meeting must read the parking permit agreement and purchase a parking permit to be displayed by hanging from the rearview mirror of the vehicle any time the car is on co-op premises.
• No matter the reason on campus, parents should park in the Parent Parking areas as designated by the GREEN highlighted line on the campus map.

NOTE: Any unexpected needs regarding these expected procedures must be discussed with an UHC GVL Elementary Director.
