Drop-Off

Arrival should be before 7:50 to allow time for your child to be line in the school yard by 7:50. The school yard opens at 7:30. The yard is not staffed before 7:30AM so please remain with your child if you’re early.

Bus Arrival:

Children who arrive by bus will have a drop-off attendant escort them up the steps for morning assembly.

Car Arrival:
Valet Service (STOP, DROP & GO)

This service runs from 7:30-7:50.
This is a staff and parent volunteer-run service where you can pull up in front of school to drop off your child. There is a line to drop off, so please wait patiently for your turn and follow all safety and driving rules. Once you get to the front of the line, a volunteer will open the door for your child to exit and direct them to the school yard.

Car Parking

There is no parking lot available. Street parking can be found near the school. There is usually parking 2-3 blocks away.

Leave home early enough to allow yourself time to find a spot (arrival before 7:35AM is best). Allow time to park and walk to school.

Driving up the curvy driveway to drop-off your child(ren) in the schoolyard is strictly prohibited.

Pick-up:

Teachers escort each class to the curb at the front of school, this is where you will meet your child(ren). Please do not come to the classroom to pick up your child, as this disrupts the dismissal routine.

Bus:

Students who ride the bus will be escorted to the bus by JOES staff.
