Drop off-Pick Up Procedures
DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES
In the interest of student safety, all student drop-offs and pick-ups before and after school are located on the west side of Center School, which is by the side of the building parallel to LaGrange Rd. Picking up children and exercising safety requires patience and courtesy on the part of all.
The children’s safety is the primary focus of the teacher’s attention at this time. Therefore, this is not the appropriate time for a parent to try and talk to a teacher. If you need to talk to a staff member, who has a supervisory duty, please schedule an appointment.
Field trips, social activities, and inclement weather days cause the most congestion. Parking is also limited. Therefore, we encourage you to allow your child to use bus transportation when available. To further help us ensure the safety of your children, please adhere to the following guidelines:

CARS ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED IN THE BUS LANE. Follow the signs and understand the intent of the information on the signs. Do not enter the designated bus area, which is in front of the building, with your car.
