Morning Arrival/After-School Dismissal Procedures - Car Riders
Morning Arrival 7:30 - 8:05
Parents should arrive at school using the Highland entrance. Parents dropping off students should enter via the E. Highland Ave. entrance, follow the single lane to the parking lot, and turn right to follow the parent lane. Pull up to the 1st of 6 designated spots along the side of the building. Students should exit their car onto the sidewalk, if at all possible, to avoid other cars that may be leaving the drop-off area. Upon leaving the drop-off area, cars should proceed down the school drive toward East National Highway entrance/exit. Cars will only be allowed to turn right onto East National Highway as they exit the school premises.
For students that arrive after the 8:10 tardy bell, they should use the Main Entrance off of East National Highway, park in the main parking lot, and escort their child to the Main Entrance doors.
Parents who park in the front parking lot and do not have business in the office will be asked to get back in their car and follow the car rider procedures to drop off their student.
Parents are not allowed to pull up to the front entrance for drop-off or pick-up from 7:00-3:30. This is a Bus Lane only. All cars must park in the parking lot.
Dismissal Procedures 2:45
This will be the same process as the Morning Arrival. Parents picking up students should enter via the E. Highland Ave. entrance, follow the single lane to the parking lot, and turn right to follow the parent lane. Pull up to the 1st of 6 designated spots along the side of the building. Cars should follow the established procedure until arriving at the sidewalk where teachers will assist students in loading into their vehicles. Once students are secure, cars should proceed out of the parking lot area very cautiously down the school driveway toward East National Highway entrance/exit. Cars will only be allowed to turn right onto East National Highway as they exit the school premises.
Morning Arrival/After-School Dismissal Procedures - Bus Riders
Buses will arrive at Washington Primary School at various times each morning with the first buses arriving as early as 7:30 and the remaining buses arriving at various intervals throughout the remainder of the morning before 8:05. Each bus will arrive using the West Side entrance off of East National Hwy and will then leave campus using the East Side entrance back onto East National Hwy or Abel Lane. Upon exiting their assigned bus, each student will proceed into the school through the Main Entrance doors and then disperse to their assigned classroom.
At dismissal time—approximately 2:25 depending on their assigned bus route—students will proceed to their assigned “staging area” within the school building to await loading of their bus. Once the loading begins, teachers will assist students to their appropriate bus.
