Procedure for End-of-the-Day Pick-Up

Before-School and End-of-Day Parent Loop

If you're planning on dropping off your child in the morning and/or picking up your child in the afternoon, please follow these guidelines, which we've developed to keep all our students safe:

AM Drop Off:

Enter the drop-off loop from M-36 and follow the loop around the front of Pathfinder until you reach the drop-off area in front of Navigator. Please pull forward to the staff member assisting with drop off. This allows 5-6 cars to drop off students at once. Your child should be prepared to exit the vehicle on the sidewalk (passenger) side once you reach the front of Navigator. If your child needs extra time, please plan to park and walk your child across the loop, using the sidewalks and crosswalk. Please do not drop off your child before 8:30.

PM Pick Up:

Form two parallel lines through the pick-up loop. Please be sure to wrap the lines around the side of Pathfinder, stretching toward the back of the Navigator/Pathfinder complex. Do not wrap the lines toward M-36, as this causes traffic backups on the roadway. To do this, you may want to enter from McGregor Road. Students will be dismissed via PA as a member of our staff moves through the line-up. Please pull all the way up to the staff member assisting with pick up in order to safely allow 10-12 students to load safely.

Please be aware that the drop-off and pick-up process often takes longer during the first few weeks of school. As all parents and students fall into regular routines, the process will speed up.
