Bus Riders

• Buses arrive in the front circle from 7:10 a.m. - 7:40 a.m. No other cars are allowed in-front circle of the school during this time.
• ​Bus forms must be completed on all children riding the school bus (see our receptionist for these forms).
• Bus escort forms must be filled out on all kindergarten students (see our receptionist for these forms).

Car Riders

FACT: we unload close to 320+ students safely out of cars each day

• Enter the first long driveway closest to Summit Parkway
• Follow the blue line and stop at the perpendicular blue lines.
• As the line grows access to the back parking lot is only available via the exit. For this reason we ask that no vehicles exit our car line until the school doors have opened at 7:10am. 
• Students can begin getting out of cars no earlier than 7:10 a.m. Do not let students out of the car before school personnel are there to monitor and supervise student traffic.
• Violations of this procedure may result in being contacted by the school social worker or a school resource officer.
• Please follow the directions of the school personnel or parent volunteers as you pull around the circle. We are here to make your drop-off both efficient and safe. We unload 320+ students safely out of cars each morning.
• The car rider line closes at 7:40 a.m. Students will need to be brought to the front of the building and signed in by an adult after 7:40 a.m. The student is considered tardy at this point.

Day Care Riders

Day care riders are dropped off in the front of the school where the bus riders are dropped off. Once again, no cars are allowed in this area from 7:10 a.m. - 7:40 a.m.

Walkers

Walkers may enter the building from the car rider side of the building if they walk from Summit Pkwy. Please do not drive and drop off your child somewhere on campus and have them walk in the building. With the amount of traffic that we have, this is dangerous and may result in a report being made to the school social worker or school resource officer.

 

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

PLAN AHEAD!!!! Additional adults and siblings (high school students and middle school students) are NOT allowed in the school building from 1:45 p.m to 3:00p.m. Students may not be signed out during this time. This is a district-wide procedure for elementary schools.

Students are dismissed at 2:40 p.m. each day. It is critical that students are allowed to travel within the school to their dismissal area without interruption. School personnel are responsible for children getting to their dismissal area and dismissed in an orderly manner. This cannot be done if adults are trying to change modes of transportation at the last minute and are in the building trying to pick up students.

Car Riders

FACT: we load close to 200 students in cars safely each day

• Follow the BLUE line and stop at perpendicular blue lines!
• Please have your car tag number displayed clearly. This will make the car rider dismissal process more efficient and safer for your child.
• Do not get out of your car to pick up your child. 
• Students will not be dismissed to adults or siblings who walk up to the car rider area or cafeteria doors. You will have to get back in your car and pull through the car rider line. The purpose of this is so that school personnel can manage how students are going home and who is picking them up.
• Parents of students who have not been picked up by 3:00 may be charged a supervision fee or students may be sent to Be Great Academy, where fees may apply. 

Bus and Day Care Riders

FACT: 250 students ride the bus every day at NSE

No additional cars will be allowed in the front circle from 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Buses and day care vans need to be able to get around the circle, pick up students safely, and drive out without incident.

Walkers

• All students who are walkers are required to fill out a permission form. Please contact Mrs. Henderson to get more information on the forms and procedures for walkers. 
• Students will be checked off each day as they are released to walk home.
• If an adult or sibling will be meeting your child to walk them home, please send a note with your child to his or her teacher so that school personnel will know who to look for at the end of the day. The adult or sibling should have some sort of identification each day when they pick the child up. It is crucial that school personnel know who is picking your child up and that the person is authorized to pick him or her up.
• Since school personnel duties change periodically, parents should not assume that the person on duty will recognize them and release the child to them. Once again, we will err on the side of keeping your child at the school rather than releasing him or her to someone who is not on their pick up list. To add an adult to the pick-up list, please see our school registrar or attendance secretary.

ALWAYS follow the school and district procedures for arrival and dismissal of students.
