ONARCH on ¢sso i :hool Child Drop Off and Pick Up Procedure General Traffic Flow The property located at 19277 Vernon Street, Elk River has two driveways, one identified as an entrance and the other as an exit. If vehicles are waiting in the designated drop-off/pick-up area, adequate room remains in the entrance for other vehicles to enter into the parking lot area. The exit being located at the northern end of the property will minimize congestion as vehicles exit onto Vernon Street. Security The main entrance into the school will be located in the middle of the building's west side. All entrances into the school will be secured from entry, but this will not impair exiting the building in the case of an emergency. All entrances will be equipped with panic bar capabilities. A surveillance camera, to assist with early arrivals and late pick ups, will be located at the main entrance with its monitor mounted in the extended care room. A member of the staff may unlock the main entrance remotely by pushing a button in the extended care room. The monitor is located in the extended care room because during early arrivals, school hours, and late pick ups, a staff member will always be present in that room. _Scho_o_l Day Schedul~e Early arrival will be available beginning at 6:45am. Classes for morning primary grades begin at 8:00am and 8:30am and dismiss at 11:00am and 11:30am respectively. Classes for afternoon primary grades begin at 12:00pm and dismiss at 3:00pm Classes for elementary grades begin at 8:00am and dismiss at 2:20pm. Late pick up will be available until 6:00pm. This school schedule does correspond with most of lSD #728 schedule for the year, with some slight differences. Early Arrival Procedure The school will be open at 6:45am to accommodate pre-registered early arrivals. During this time (6:45am - 7:50am), a parent must park in the parking lot and accompany their child into school and then to the extended care room. With the use of the surveillance camera and remote entry, the staff member present does not have to leave any children unattended while parents are dropping off their child. The children will remain in the extended care room until normal school classes begin. School Day Arrival Procedure Two staff members will be available at the main entrance from 7:50am until 8:40am. During this time, parents may drive up to the main entrance drop off area where a staff member will accompany the child from the vehicle into the school. The other staff member will be inside the school helping with coats, shoes, and behavior if needed. The child must wait in the vehicle for a staff member and exit the passenger side of the vehicle. If driving up to the main entrance drop off area is not possible, the parent must park in the parking lot and accompany the child to the main entrance where a staff member is available. If a child arrives after 8:40am, the parent must park in the parking lot, accompany the child into school, and then to the child's appropriate classroom. The drop off procedure described above will also be followed for the afternoon primary grades. Two staff members will be available at the main entrance from 11:50pm until 12:10pm for children arriving. After that time, the parent must park in the parking lot, accompany the child into school, and then to the child's appropriate classroom. Having a designated drop off area will eliminate the confusion as to the direction of traffic, where and how to drop off children, and most importantly knowing all children will safely be accompanied into the school.
