Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

  • Arrival

    What is expected behavior during Drop-Off?

    • All drop-offs of students should take place between the bike racks and the driveway entrance to the school on 11th Street.
    • All cars must pull forward as far as possible. Our staff will help get students into the closest door of the school.
    • Students need to exit the vehicle through the passenger side of the car.
    • Drivers must remain in their vehicle while moving through the lane.
    • All drivers must follow. 

    What is unexpected behavior during Drop-Off?

    • U-turns on 11th
    • Parking your vehicle in the lane
    • Speeding down 11th
    • Cutting around cars that are not moving forward at a pace appropriate to you.

    Staff are supervising to help students get in and out of cars along with moving our traffic along. They may remind you of expectations so that we can expedite the lane smoothly. Students need to be accompanied by an adult if you are dropping a student off in the front parking lot. Since buses use our bus lane, we have cross walks that we ask you to use with your guidance. We appreciate everyone taking the time to help our students get to school safely. 

    As a reminder, all parents/guardians should drop students off on 11th Avenue. Please do not use 12th Avenue as a pick up or drop off location. In working with the Naperville Police Department and City of Naperville, this is not our building designated car lane and as such there is no crossing guard. There will not be a staff member to assist students with crossing the street or stopping cars. Thank you for your help to keep our students and community safe during arrival and dismissal!

    Dismissal

    • All walkers, car riders or students being picked up in the parent pick-up lane will be dismissed from the back of the building (east side).
    • All students being picked up by family on the back playground should stand with their family member (students should not go directly to play on the playground) until staff on duty blows the whistle or heads inside. This allows our staff to account for all students.
    • Families accessing the parking lot should walk with their child when in the parking lot and use the designated cross walk.
    • Any adult running late for pick up needs to notify the front office so that we can account for your child and arrange for supervision.
    • Adults should also remind their child/children to go to a staff member if they are unsure of their after school plan or can not find their car or adult picking them up.

    Bike Safety

    Our younger students (K-2) should have an adult with them. Older students (3-5) can ride their bikes but will need to walk their bikes to the bike racks once on school grounds. Bikes must be parked in the bike racks and kept locked. No skates, skateboards, or wheelies are permitted. If your child is a bike rider, please review the following safety expectations with your child:

    • Wear your helmet: Always wear a properly fitting helmet to protect your head in case of a fall or accident.
    • Check your bike: Before you ride, make sure your bike is in good condition. Check the tires, brakes, and chain to ensure everything is working properly.
    • Be visible: Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially if you're riding in low light conditions. Make sure drivers can see you.
    • Obey traffic rules: Ride on the right side of the road in the same direction as traffic. Stop at stop signs and obey traffic signals.
    • Use hand signals: Signal your turns and stops using hand signals so drivers know your intentions.
    • Stay alert: Keep an eye out for cars, pedestrians, and other obstacles. Avoid distractions like using your phone while riding.
    • Look before crossing: When crossing streets or intersections, always look both ways and make sure it's safe to proceed.
    • Ride predictably: Ride in a straight line and avoid weaving in and out of traffic. This helps drivers anticipate your movements.
    • Stay on designated paths: Stick to bike lanes or paths whenever possible. Avoid riding on busy roads or sidewalks.
    • Ride with a friend: It's safer to ride with a buddy, especially if you're new to riding to school. You can look out for each other, and it's more fun!
