Alderwood Drop off and Pick Up
🚶Updated Drop off:
Grades 1st–6th will arrive on campus and line up at their classroom doors before the school day begins. Supervision start times: 8:00 AM for grades 4th–6th and 8:10 AM for grades 1st–3rd.
Here’s what families need to know:
- Students must be seated in a straight line at their classroom door.
- Parents may wait behind the student line, please note:
- To help ensure a calm, safe start for everyone, the play equipment, running on the blacktop, and playing on the courts is not permitted before school.
- To support a smooth transition and safe start to the day:
- Parents of students in Grades 4th – 6th should exit campus by 8:10 AM.
- Parents of students in Grades 1st – 3rd should exit by 8:25 AM.
- The campus will be closed to visitors starting at 8:25 AM.
- There is no drop off in the PK/Kindergarten lot in the morning for Grades 1st-6th.
If you need to visit the school after this time, please check in at the front office.
🚗 🚶Pick Up/Dismissal:
Dismissal procedures will remain the same, with the option of using the car line for all students or having a predetermined meeting location for students who walk. The car line will run every day, including Wednesdays and minimum days.
Please remember to pull all the way forward in the car line during dismissal—this helps maximize the number of cars that can safely enter the lot and prevents traffic from backing up onto Knollcrest.
Rainy day pick-up will continue to be at the classroom door. We will let parents know by 2:00 pm if we are having a rainy day dismissal.
There is no pick up in the PK/Kindergarten lot in the afternoon for Grades 1st-6th.
Using the map: Cars will enter the lot turning right off of Knollcrest.
If you would like to walk onto campus for pick up please use the yellow waiting areas.
Keep the red area (sidewalk) clear for staff and students exiting campus or getting into a car.💙🦉
