Arrival & Dismissal

Carpool (8:40-8:45 a.m.) – Upper Parking Lot

• Have your child(ren) kissed and ready to exit the vehicle when you reach the unloading zone. Please stay in your car. Only children should exit the vehicle from the passenger side.
• You will notice staff present at the unloading zone. Please pull your car all the way forward, come to a complete stop, and allow these staff members to open your car door
• The second bell (tardy) rings at 8:46 a.m. and all doors will be locked. If you arrive after this time, you must park your car and sign your child(ren) into school at the front office.

Walkers – Enter through the gym doors

• Students will enter through the gym doors.
• If parents choose to walk their child(ren) to the gym doors, they should park in the lower parking lot (closest to Silver Spring Drive) and use the crosswalk.

Bus Riders – Front Entrance

Students that ride the bus unload along the sidewalk at the front of the school. Students will enter the building through the main entrance of the school.

Carpool – Upper Parking Lot

• Display your Family Name Card on the right side of your dashboard for easy recognition.
• Students will exit the building through the gym doors. Students will wait outside on the sidewalk until their car arrives.
• Several adults will also be outside to assist in the supervision and getting students into cars.
• Do not exit your vehicle to load your child(ren) as these are moving loading zones only.
• Please pull all the way forward and your student will come to you.

Walkers

• Students will exit the building through the Multi-Purpose Room doors.
• Students should leave the school property and not use the playground equipment unless accompanied by an adult.
• In order to ensure the safety of students, walkers should not walk to a parked car in the school parking lot. These students should follow the “Parent Walk-Up” procedures.

If you drive to Silver Springs, you may park in the lower parking lot (closest to Silver Spring Drive) and use the crosswalk and sidewalk to walk to the building. Do not park in the upper or main parking lot as we need our car loading loop to move continuously and our bus loop to be free of vehicles at dismissal time.

You may wait for your child outside the Multi-Purpose Room doors in the back of our school building near the playground. Parents should not park their car and have their child(ren) walk to the car. Students will exit the building through the Multi-Purpose Room doors.

Kindergarten students that are parent walk-ups are released at 3:35 p.m. to avoid the rush of older students exiting the building. Parents may pick up their child at the Kindergarten doors (on the west side of our school near the lower playground).
