Pick Up:
To ensure the safety and security of all students, as well as to minimize disruptions to classroom learning, we ask families to follow these procedures when picking up their child/children during the school day:
Please provide your child’s classroom teacher with information about pick-up arrangements so your child can be prepared.
- All parents/guardians or approved emergency contacts must report to the office to pick up their child/children. Students will either be waiting at the office, or office staff will contact the classroom to have the student sent down.
- During the first week of school, forms will be sent home to establish legal guardians and approved emergency contacts for each student at Marie Sharpe Elementary. Only legal guardians or approved emergency contacts will be allowed to pick up students. No student will be released without consent.
- Please check in with the office prior to picking up your child during regular school hours.
We kindly request that these procedures be followed at all times to help us maintain a safe, secure, and uninterrupted learning environment.
If your child is being picked up after school, please ensure this happens promptly after the bell. The playground is not an appropriate place for students to wait as playground supervision ends at 3:10pm (If your student takes a bus, bus lane supervision is until 3:36pm). Any student not picked up on time will wait at the office until their adult arrives.
Drop Off:
In the morning before the 9:00am bell, students can be dropped off in the playground and courtyard area at the back of the school. Please do not bring your student to the front of the school as it is right next to the road and without an adequate fence.
Dropping off in personal vehicles: If you drive your student to school and drop them off, please follow the signs and rules of the road, pull over along the field fencing or near the courtyard entrances along 2nd or near the playground fencing along 3rd. Under no circumstances are vehicles to be looping through the School District office parking lot or into the bus loop.
Drop offs after the morning bell:
Kindly, bring your student in through the front door.
1. Tell our Secretary, Mrs. Walsh, your student’s name.
2. Your student will receive a slip of paper they will give to their teacher that indicates they have signed into the office.
3. Student will walk to their classroom.
If you would like to accompany your student to their classroom to drop them off, you must sign in and wear a Visitor’s Lanyard. Thank you!
