• Your child’s backpack should be on their back or at their feet to grab as door is opened.
• Parents are not to get out of their cars for any reason including getting a backpack out of the trunk.)

All walkers or city bus students should enter through the gates on North Burgher Avenue and not be walking through the parking lot to enter through the red doors for arrival.

Pre-K for ALL Program:

• This is not a STOP and DROP.
• Parents should park in the school or church parking lot beginning at 7:50 AM as our parking lot is used for STOP and DROP for the main building until 7:48 AM. If you need to park earlier than 7:50 AM then PLEASE use the church parking lot across the street. The classroom doors open at 8:00 AM and remain open until 8:15 AM. Please walk your child into the classroom each day. At 8:15 AM the doors will be shut and you will have to call the main office at (718) 442-0347. We will then inform the teacher aide to meet you at your child’s classroom door. **It will be very helpful if you all make every effort to get to school on time.
