In order to ensure the safety of our children and parents, we are continuing “Stop and Drop” this September. I am asking for your patience and cooperation while dropping off students and to adhere to the rules. Please refer to diagram on our school website under the tab:  Parent Resources.

• Line-up can begin by 7:30 a.m.  “Stop and Drop” ends at 7:48 a.m.
• Enter through the driveway at Castleton Avenue
• Stay to the right as you enter for Drop # 1, the first car will line-up by the garage MUST EXIT CARY AVENUE or NORTH BURGHER AVENUE.

All Grades K to 8 will enter through the “GLASS DOORS” (the gym doors facing the parking lot). The RED Doors will no longer be used for entering the building in the mornings.
 

• Myself, office staff or parent volunteers will begin opening car doors at 7:30 AM.

• The child/children should exit on the passenger side, preferably from the back seat which will be opened by myself or office staff.

• 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 glass doors for arrival.
  THIS PROCEDURE IS ONLY FOR ARRIVAL

Pre-K for ALL Program – ENTER PARKING LOT THROUGH CASTLETON AVENUE ONLY AT BOTH ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL TIMES

• GETTING TO SCHOOL ON-TIME IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE AS LATENESS CAUSES UNDO STRESS ON THE OFFICE, STUDENTS, AND DISRUPTS THE CLASSROOM.
• This is not a STOP and DROP.
• Parents of our Pre-K programs 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.

The 4 year-olds (PKFA) will enter the glass gym doors which can be accessed through the parking lot.  The doors will open at 8’o’clock. You must walk your child to their classroom. At 8:15 AM the doors will close and you will have to call the main office. We will then inform the teacher aide to meet you at your child’s classroom door. Please make every effort to arrive on-time.

Dismissal

• 3 -K for All (3 year olds): Please use the Church parking lot ONLY. This must be adhered to as we do not have enough parking spaces for all our families. Children will be dismissed from their classroom doors.
• Pre-K for All (4 year olds) will be dismissed at the glass gym doors at 2:20 PM.
• K-8th graders will be dismissed at 2:30 either through the Red door facing the Pre-K building or the glass doors; your teacher will advise you on dismissal procedures.
• 3K, PKFA and K through 8: Parents should enter only through the Castleton Avenue driveway, park your car, retrieve child/children and exit back out Castleton Avenue. ALL Children will be dismissed only to parents or parent authorized persons written on the school emergency contact form. There may be no Fax or phone requests.
