Arrival Procedures
All students can enter the building at 8:23 am. Students are expected to be in their class by 8:30 am. Any student arriving to school or class after 8:30 am is considered late.
- 6th Graders will enter through the 6th grade entrance by the bus loop side entrance.
- 7th graders will enter through the main entrance.
- 8th graders will enter through the entrance by the cafeteria.
Walkers: Students can arrive by 8:15 am and wait outside in the bus loop area. Students can also sit at the outside tables to wait for the bell to ring. Students should stay on the sidewalk as they walk to school. Please do not walk through homeowners yards.
Bus Riders: You can use HCPSS Bus Locator to determine your childs bus number and pick up/drop off location. We encourage your child to arrive at the bus stop 10 minutes before the scheduled pick up time. Please be sure to update your family file so that the student routes are accurate. Family file must be updated every year even if there are no changes.
Car Riders: All cars should follow the direction of the staff as they enter the car loop. Cars should pull all the way down so that cars can enter the car loop safely. Please do not pass stopped vehicles to ensure the safety of all students. Also do not drop off your child prior to the car loop, they should be dropped off once you reach the sidewalk. All students should exit the vehicle on the side closest to the sidewalk. We encourage you to drop your students off by 8:20am.
Students can arrive as early as 8:15 am and wait outside in the bus loop area. Students can also sit at the outside tables to wait for the bell to ring. We highly discourage drop off prior to 8:15 am as there will be no staff to monitor them.
Dismissal Procedures:
The bell will ring at 3:15 pm to dismiss students. Once the bell rings, students will exit the building using the nearest exit as directed by a staff member.
Walkers: Students that walk home should exit the building and proceed to walk home. We ask that students not linger on the bus loop.
Car Riders: Parents are asked to follow the same process as the morning drop off. Students will walk to the car loop and wait for their rides. We ask that students wait on the sidewalk and not walk between the cars as this poses a safety risk. Please follow the direction of the staff members that are posted to ensure the safety of all car riders.
Bus Riders: All bus riders should walk to their buses once the bell rings. Students should not linger outside due to the tight schedule of the buses. Once students get on the bus, they should remain seated, use their inside voices, appropriate language and not consume water or food on the bus. Students should only ride the bus that they have been assigned.
