- Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Morning Drop-Off: All students, grades K-4, are dropped off on the Wilder Street side of the building between 7:15 and 7:40 am. After 7:40 am, parents/guardians are required to accompany their child into the main office. Kindergarten through grade 4 students arriving between 7:15 am and 7:30 am will report to the gymnasium until 7:30 am. For safety reasons, only C.W. Morey School students will be allowed to enter the school. For all students’ safety, adults are not allowed into the school building at any time without reporting to and signing in at the office. Students dropped off on Wilder St. after 7:30 am will report directly to their classrooms. All Pre-K students will be dropped off at 7:30 am at the front door which can be accessed from Pine Street. Please wait until you see the Pre-K teachers at the door before dropping your child off. Only PreK cars are permitted to pull into the front loop and they must display their Morey PreK placard in their front car windows.
Afternoon Pick-Up: PreK students will be dismissed on the Morey Street side of the building starting at 1:40 pm. Students in kindergarten and grade 1 will be dismissed on the Wilder Street side of the building at 1:45 pm. Students in grades 2, 3 and 4 will be dismissed from the front of the building at 1:47 pm. By staggering the dismissal times, traffic should flow without interruption. Please make note that the school is closed at 1:50 pm. If your child needs a ride home, please be sure that transportation is at the school before 1:50 pm.
SAFETY FIRST: The safety of our students, families, and staff comes first. We understand that your time is valuable and that traffic can be very frustrating. We hope that you understand that it is challenging for us to safely bring about 600 people into our school each morning. Please follow these guidelines:
-
Do NOT let your child out of the car anywhere except the sidewalk on Wilder Street next to the building. We have had many close calls of students being dropped off across the street and almost hit by a car.
-
Stay in the line. Don’t cut in front of cars that have been waiting in the line.
-
Don’t block the school’s parking lot. Staff and visitors need to park and enter the building.
-
Enter Wilder Street from the Pine Street side. It is a one-way street during school hours.
-
Remember that there are children present. If someone isn’t following the rules, please speak appropriately to others, using professional language and volume. School staff will speak to families and do our very best to maintain safe procedures, but please remember that we do not have traffic authority.
-
The front loop is only for our PreK students in the morning. We need to keep our youngest students safe and supervised. Don’t park in the front loop and then expect a PreK parent to move his/her car. Please be respectful of school staff members who are enforcing the rules at the top of the driveway.
We appreciate all of your efforts and patience in getting your children to and from school each day! Thank you for following our procedures so that everyone can arrive and depart safely. Please let us know if you have questions or concerns.
