Arrival and Dismissal

Courtesy and caution are critical to the safe delivery and pick-up of our children. Please drive slowly and carefully in the school area. Per KRS 189.430, it is against the law to leave a car unattended with the motor running. For the safety of our students, drivers must turn off their engines prior to exiting their vehicles and entering the building.

 

Students will only be dismissed to the parents. If someone else is designated to pick up the child, permission must be stated in writing or e-mail. If a parent needs to pick up his/her child early, he/she must come to the classroom in the Superkids Building or the Office in the Main Building and sign out the child.

 

 

Main Building Pick Up & Dismissal

 

Students in grades two through eight arriving before 7:40 a.m. must report to the supervised morning study hall program on the first floor of the main building which opens at 7:15 a.m. The school does not assume responsibility for children in unsupervised areas upstairs. School classrooms do not open for students and are not supervised until 7:40 a.m.

 

During arrival and dismissal, grades two through eight drivers must remain in line on the right hand side of Deepwood Drive coming down the hill toward the school. Students are not permitted to cross the street to leave or meet vehicles. This policy is essential in order to provide for the safety of your child, and your cooperation in this regard is critical. For pick-up, parents are asked to attach a large card to the outside of their flipped down sun visor which displays the names of the children in their car pool.

 

During delivery and pick-up times, do not park or leave your car directly in front of the school, in front of the driveway or across the street. Also, please do not double park along the fence thus blocking teacher departure. Prompt pick-up of children is important.

 

• Children who have not been picked-up by 3:20 p.m. will attend the Extended Day Program and pay a fee for this service.

 

 

Superkids Building Pick Up & Dismissal

 

Superkids Building: Children in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade may enter the Superkids Building as early as 7:15 a.m. and remain with the supervising teacher until the classroom teacher begins to supervise them.

 

During arrival and dismissal, parents of preschoolers through grade one children should approach the Superkids Building from the direction of the main building with passenger doors nearest the school. A teacher will open the car door and assist the child in or out of the car. Children will not be allowed to cross the street to a car. Parents who want to walk their child into the building must park on the right side of the road. It is OK to park in the circle, but do not block driveways.

 

Please DO NOT PARK on the LEFT side of Deepwood Drive. Parking on the curve creates a blind spot and is unsafe. Parents who do not follow this procedure complicate the traffic pattern. Please be prompt at the two dismissal times. If a parent is late, he or she will need to pick up the child inside the building.

 

• Any child still at school after 12:15 p.m. or 3:15 p.m. will be charged the drop in fee for P.M. Preschool or Extended Day programs.
