Morning Arrival

Arrival: Children will be dropped off outside of their classroom door or a door near their classroom and a staff member will greet them and walk them into the building.  You may drop off your child beginning at 7:45 (PM programs will need to drop off at 11:35).  If your child needs to eat breakfast, they will eat in their classroom. We ask that children who plan to eat breakfast arrive by 8:00. 

Parking

For arrival and dismissal, parents may park in the school parking lot, across the street in the MCC parking lot, or behind the school in the mall parking lot.  FOR PARKING OPTIONS, PLEASE SEE MAP BELOW!  Please park in designated spots only.  For your safety, please DO NOT park in the front of the building as this is the bus lane!  Additional parking is available behind the school in the mall parking lot and/or the former drop-off lane or across the street at MCC.  Please be aware of your surroundings during arrival and dismissal, as there is an increase in young children in the parking lots at these times.

Afternoon Dismissal

Dismissal will work in a similar fashion as arrival.  You will wait outside, where you dropped your child off,  at your dismissal time, and our staff will bring your student out to you at 2:15 (AM classes will dismiss at 10:55).  For the safety of our students, they will not be dismissed to anyone not on the pick-up list!  If you are not here at the designated pick-up time you will be responsible for coming to the front door to pick up your child.
