    Morning Procedures

    Your child should arrive to school after 7:30am and before 8:00am.  Your child is tardy after 8:00am.  You must come inside and check you child in or  he/she will be marked tardy unexcused.  Please do not park in front of the school.  You will need to park in the basement area and come inside.  This lane must be free for traffic to flow.

    The school opens at 7:30am.  Please do not drop students off before this time.  There will not be proper supervision before 7:30am.

    Afternoon Procedures - Dismissal for Car Riders

    Parents/guardians picking up car riders will make a single-file lane at the end of the sidewalk before reaching the basement area.  Parents/guardians must have a legible car tag or sign identifying the child's name.  It should be placed in clear view within the vehicle for teachers to see.  MES will provide car riders with one tag.  You may also create your own tag/sign.  If your child will be picked up by friends and/or different family members in different cars, they must also have a legible car sign identifying the child's name.  Please remember, if the sign is not visible, the parent/person will be asked to park in the lower basement parking lot and go to the office to pick up your child.

    Car riders will not be allowed to be picked up by parents/persons walking to the basement area.  You may not park and walk to the basement to get your child.  This is a safety issue.  If you do not want to wait in the car rider line, you should make arrangements for your child to be a walker or a bus rider.  You may check your child out if you chose, but this must be done before 2:25pm.  There will be no traffic in the front lobby between 2:15pm and 3:05pm.  We must keep this area free of traffice as we prepare to dismiss.

    No check-outs after 2:15pm.  If there is an emergency situation, please notify the school and a member of the office staff will have your child ready to be picked-up in the lobby area.  If you come between 2:00-2:15pm, please park in the basement parking lot.  We must keep the emergency lane clear.
