Arrival


Click Here for Arrival & Dismissal Charts

We do our very best to ensure a safe, efficient Arrival process at our Main Campus.  We have over 450 students who all need to be dropped off in a 20 minute period.  You can help us by reading and adhering to the following information.

  • Please hang up your phone ~ As soon as the arrival or dismissal process begins, please cease using your phone for calls and texting. We want all drivers to be 100% focused on driving safely in our parking lot.
  • Always turn right out of our parking lot during busy arrival and dismissal hours.
  • If you have children of multiple grades to drop off and pick up, you will follow the instructions for the youngest child in your family/group. You should do this daily, even if that youngest child is not at school on a particular day.
  • Not permitted on our property (not even in our parking lot, not even in your car while on our property): Smoking, Vaping, E-cigarette use, use of Drugs or Alcohol. If you must bring your dog with you, please keep them restrained in your vehicle. Our staff might not be able to assist children into or out of vehicles containing dogs.

ARRIVAL – PRIMARY AND ELEMENTARY
Students are not allowed on campus prior to 8:08 am, unless they are enrolled in Before Care.  They are NOT allowed to wait in the vestibule unsupervised. Students are allowed into the classroom beginning at 8:08.  Your child will be tardy if they arrive at school at or after 8:28.   Our staff must come into the school to begin teaching by 8:28.  If you arrive after 8:28, you must park, and walk your child into the building, and sign them in at the office.

Preschoolers (if the youngest child in your family is a Preschooler, follow these instructions every day):

  • Arrival begins no earlier than 8:08 and ends at 8:28
  • If you have a preschool student, please follow this drop off procedure for all children in your vehicle, regardless of their age. Do so every day, even if the preschooler is not attending school on a particular day.
  • Have your QR Code ready to hand to our staff member (you’ll receive these prior to your first day of school)
  • Preschool parents follow the blue “P” Line (on the left) all the way to the Stop sign (on your left) with the blue “P Stop” painted on the driveway.
  • The first cars to arrive should remain stopped at the stop sign until directed by a staff member to pull forward.
  • You will continue to be directed forward to the Southwest doors when space is available.
  • Remain in your car, the primary staff will scan your QR Code, and will help your child out of the car and direct them into the building.
  • If you need additional QR Code Cards, please email us at childcare@dcsdk12.org. Let us know your child’s name and the name of the person picking up – we will issue 2 cards to the same person.
