DROP OFF CHANGES FOR elementary schools

We would like to thank all of our elementary school parents and students for your patience and understanding with our car-line only pick-ups and drop-offs during this first semester. We are pleased to announce that beginning January 5, parents will be able to walk up to the school to drop their child off or pick up their child each day.

Parents/Guardians will need to adhere to the following guidelines for parking and walking up to drop-off or pick-up:

  • Practice physical distancing, remaining at least 6 feet apart from other students/parents.

  • Wear a mask.

  • Parents/Guardians will not be allowed to enter the school. 

Each school has specific guidelines that need to be reviewed and followed to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Please read below for these details from each school and contact the school if you have any questions.
