Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

Elementary Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure

The Fredonia Elementary School has established student drop-off and pick-up procedures for the upcoming school year.  School security and your child's safety are priorities for us, and it is important that each and every student is supervised and accounted for during the busy drop-off and pick-up times.  The following procedures are designed to adequately address these safety concerns: 

8:30 am Student Drop-Off Students will not be permitted in the school building prior to 8:30 am.  All school doors will remain locked until this time. Please do not drop your child off at the school prior to 8:30 am, as there will not be adult supervision until 8:30 am. Please note that students and Grade 1 must be brought into the main entrance of the school.  The morning drop-off point for Grade 2, Grade 3 and Grade 4 students will be at the end of the elementary school bus-loop, at the crosswalk, but within the elementary school parking lot.  There will be a custodian there to help guide traffic and get students across the loop.   Students should not be dropped at the high school bus loop.  Students being dropped off after 8:45am will be considered tardy and need to use the main entrance.

2:00 pm Deadline for Notification of Student Pick-Up and Bus Changes - The school office must be notified of all dismissal time bus changes and student pick-up changes by 2:00 pm.  This will give the office staff time to notify your child's teacher of any end of the day changes.  Of course, we recognize that emergency situations occur and we will certainly accommodate you in any emergency.

3:15 pm Dismissal Student Pick-Up - Parents who choose to pick their children up should place the provided name tag on the dashboard of their vehicle and line up in the Events Entrance bus loop. The line continues through the high school bus loop and onto Billy Blvd. Parents, please remain your vehicles. Students will be called out and brought to you.

Finally, only parents and designated guardians will be permitted to sign-out their children.  If you have an older high school sibling or a babysitter picking up your child, please send a note informing the school of this situation. 

Thank you for your cooperation as we implement these safeguards!  Please contact the elementary office at 679-1581, ext. 2740, if you have any questions or concerns.
