Parking Lot Procedures

It is expected that students will travel to and from school in the same way each day. Should an emergency arise and a change is needed, please send a note to your child’s teacher no later than the morning of the change.

The school’s supervision team is on duty beginning at 8:55am. Students and/or parents should not arrive on campus before 9:00am, unless an appointment has been made with a staff member, or if they are signed up for a morning activity/club. Students eating breakfast may go directly to the lunchroom at 9:00am. The first bell will ring at 9:10am, and then a second bell rings at 9:15am, by which time all students are expected to be in their classroom for attendance.

  • The dismissal bell will ring at 3:36 Monday -Thursday.
  • The early dismissal bell will ring at 1:36 Friday.

Bus Riders (SVSD Procedure #6605P)

Students provided with transportation are responsible for complying with the district's rules of conduct for students riding buses. Failure to adhere to these rules, or abusive behavior towards the public, driver, fellow passengers or the vehicle constitutes justification for initiating corrective action against a student.

Walkers

Students who walk should leave immediately for home once school is dismissed; there is no after school supervision provided.

Car Safety: Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures

When picking up your student, please use the pick-up/drop-off lanes (NO IDLING PLEASE) or park your car and walk up to the front of the school.

Please plan on plenty of extra time to get in and out of the parking lot if you are bringing students to school or coming to pick them up. The lane closest to the curb in front of the school is for loading and unloading only. When picking up or dropping off from the loading/unloading lane, please stay in your car and have your child(ren) load or unload from the passenger side of the vehicle. If you elect to park your car in our school’s parking lot, please walk your child across the parking lot and loading/unloading lane to ensure their safety.

Any parents wishing to meet their child on the playground at pickup may park in a designated space and walk across the pickup lane to meet them. Please do not park your car in the loading area and leave your car unattended; this creates a backup of traffic and does not allow the traffic to move forward.

Bus lanes and the entry and exit for the bus loop needs to remain clear at all times. We ask that parents picking up their child from school enter the school’s parking lot via Third Street. Downing Street is to be kept clear so that our buses can easily enter the bus loop and ensure students are loaded onto the buses in a timely manner. Please do not drive in or drop off students in the bus loading zone. Unless you have a permit, parking is prohibited in the handicapped parking spaces.

Safety Patrol

School Safety Patrol is made up of 5th-grade students. Students and parents are required to follow directions from patrols. The patrols’ job is to ensure student safety on our campus.
