The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. All visitors must follow these procedures:

Main Entrance & Sign-In

• Enter through the main entrance at the corner of Georgetown and Yale Roads.

• Use the buzzer system to request entry and report directly to the main office.

• Confirm your appointment or reason for visiting.

• Present valid photo identification (driver’s license preferred) and sign in.

• Wear the visitor badge provided at all times while in the building. Staff may ask to see your badge at any time.

• Visitors are not permitted to walk through the building or enter classrooms without prior office approval.

Parking

• Two designated visitor parking spots are located at the front of the building.

• Additional spaces are available along the front or on the street, except for reserved spots.

Parent Meetings

• To schedule a meeting with the principal, teacher, or other staff member, call or email in advance.

• Meetings may be scheduled in-person, by phone, or virtually.

Student Item Drop-Off

• If your child forgets an item (such as a lunch, backpack, water bottle, birthday snack, or other school item), please leave it on the designated cart in the vestibule area.

• Please clearly label the item with your child's first and last name. Including your child's teacher's name is also helpful to ensure timely delivery.

• School staff will deliver forgotten items to classrooms to minimize disruptions to instruction.

• Please limit drop-offs to essential items only. If a student forgets their lunch, a school lunch will be provided.

• For the safety and security of our students and staff, parents and guardians should not walk up to exterior doors or hand items directly to staff or students outside the building.

Student Pick-Up Authorization

• Students will only be released to individuals listed on the Student Pick-Up Authorization Form completed at the start of the year.

• Keep this form updated and notify both the main office and your child’s teacher of any changes.

• All individuals picking up a student must present valid photo identification.

• Individuals listed on the Student Pick-Up Authorization Form are only permitted to pick up students during regular dismissal. They may not be used for early pick-ups or nurse emergencies due to illness or injury unless the parent or guardian has contacted the school with this information. If no prior notification is provided, the school will contact a parent or guardian before releasing the child.

Special Events

• Family engagement events, such as learning activities and end-of-unit studies, are held throughout the year.

• These events are designed for you to work closely with your child.

• For safety and to maintain the learning environment, siblings or other children are not permitted to attend these events, regardless of age.
