GRE Families,
With the increase of cars at arrival and dismissal, it is
extremely important that we adhere to a few procedures to ensure the safety of
the students and the efficiency of arrival and dismissal. If you drop off or pick up your child via
car, please take time to review each item below. We thank you for your cooperation and
patience. Please notice the BOLDED
items, as they are the most pertinent.
At arrival, please pull away once your child exits the vehicle. A staff member is on duty to ensure your child gets into the building safely.
During arrival, cars will get priority during drop off. The buses will wait until the car line
diminishes before attempting to exit the parking lot. During dismissal, buses will get priority to
ensure a prompt bus stop schedule. As a
result, we may stop traffic to release the buses.
When loading or unloading your child, pull all the way to the marked
sign when dropping off/picking up your child.
For safety and efficiency, have your child exit the curb (passenger) side of the vehicle.
When waiting to turn into the GRE
parking lot, please do not stop on the cross walk.
When waiting to enter the GRE
parking lot, please take turns alternating between the Highland Croy side and
the Glacier Ridge Blvd. side, allowing a car from each side to enter.
Do not negate the drop off/pick up
line by passing on the left to enter the parking lot. Please wait in the car
drop off/pick up line if you are picking up or dropping of a child in any
manner.
If students are crossing Glacier
Ridge Blvd., they should do so at the cross walk where the crossing guard is
stationed.
Do not U turn in the middle of
Glacier Ridge Blvd.
When picking up your child, please
have your sign with your last name prominently displayed in your dash
window.
While in the car line in the
parking lot, do not drive over the handicapped spots when pulling up to the
curb.
As with everything, please
remember to Choose Kind with others.
Again, thank you for your cooperation and patience. These
procedures are for the safety and efficiency of arrival and dismissal. The arrival and dismissal of more than 700
students is a balancing act and we are able to do so in under ten minutes.
