Arrival and Dismissal
All students should be prepared to enter the building at 8:05am. Instruction begins at 8:15am. Keep up the timely arrivals!

Kiss 'N Go Protocols
Our goal is safety and efficiency.  Kiss 'n Go procedures have begun! If we all work together and follow procedures, we hope there will be less waiting, traffic, and students will be more safe as they are dropped off.

• Refrain from parking in the Kiss ‘n Go lane from 8:00 - 8:30 a.m.

• Drop off children within the lane and wait for a volunteer to open the car door. 

  • Always follow the guidance of our volunteers that are there to assist with the facilitation of a smooth traffic flow. 

  • For your child’s safety, students should ONLY exit on the passenger side of the car. Our staff is available to assist you. Parent’s should remain in the driver’s seat. 

• Drive into the Kiss ‘n Go lane from the Berteau/Richmond intersection.  Keep the traffic flow moving and remain in your car.  

• Please refrain from exiting in between the cones.  

• Please do not leave your car in the Kiss ‘n Go lane.

• All grades are welcome to use the Kiss ‘n Go lane.

• According to state law, cell phone usage is not permitted within the school zone.
