DROP-OFF/PICK-UP POLICY
August 2009
Overview:
Our first priority is the safety of the students. Our second priority
is a smooth, efficient, flowing, drop-off and pick-up procedure. We are
committed to your children's safety and it is important that we all take
this matter seriously. We also take seriously our neighbors' needs and
will at all times strive to be a good neighbor.
Procedure:
- Drop off: The school will open at 8:15 a.m. for student arrival. All students should be in the South Fellowship Hall no later than 8:25 to be ready for church, which begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. Students arriving to church service after 8:30 will be marked tardy. Any more than two tardies per month will be charged $10 per incident.
- For older children, parents will use the front parking area (in front of the bathrooms,) for drop-off. Starting at 8:15, cars will pull forward to the end of the parking spaces to drop off children, who will then follow the walking path to the covered area in front of the school doors. After children are safely at the covered area, parents may circle around the parking lot to exit to the right onto Walker Rd. Young children may be accompanied to the entry way by their parents. Please do not allow your child to walk or run behind the parked cars unattended. Only right hand turns onto Walker Road are permitted. Do not attempt a left hand turn!
- Pick Up: The school day ends at 12:25 p.m. for the morning
Preschool class and 3:00 p.m. for everyone else. Parents will pick up their students from the Entry Way in the
South Fellowship Hall. Any students not picked up by 3:10 p.m. will be considered late and parents will be subject to late fines. Parents are invited to schedule time to visit the classrooms before and after school. Any more than two late pick-ups per month will be charged $10 per incident. - Parents will use the front parking area in front of the bathrooms for drop-off. They will pull forward to the end of the parking spaces to drop off their children, who will follow the walking path to the covered area in front of the school doors. There will be a sign to show how far to pull forward before dropping off children. After children are safely on the walking path, parents will circle around the parking area in the proper direction to exit onto Walker Road. Only right hand turns onto Walker Road are permitted. Do not attempt a left hand turn!
- Parents must follow this procedure at all times. Failure to comply will be subject to ASA’s Non-Compliance Policy.
- Carpooling is strongly encouraged. Please clearly label your car or booster seats and place them under the ASA sign-in table in the fellowship hall.
- Parents must complete an "Authorization for Pickup" form at the beginning of the school year, or if drop off/pick up arrangements change. Parents must notify the office if anyone other than those authorized by the parents will be picking up a student (this does not apply to carpools).
- For students who transport themselves to and from school (i.e. walking, biking, or public transportation), parents must complete a "Parental Release Form".
