Drop-Off & Pickup

The back parking lot will be designated for buses ONLY. No other vehicles will be allowed in the back of the school during the school day. Small buses will be using the path alongside the south side of the school to access the small bus loop. Grades 3 & 5 will enter door 8, grades 2 & 4 will enter door 7, and grades K & 1 will enter door 6. All students will be supported by staff in the back of the school to assist them in getting to their class.

All walkers can begin to arrive at the front of the building starting at 9:15AM. Any students arriving before this time will line up at the doors to be let into the building at 9:15 AM. All walkers will be dismissed at the 4:00PM bell each day. If you are walking to the school to pick up your student at the end of the day, you will need to notify your student’s teacher if they are a front door or back door walker to ensure they are in the correct location to meet you.

All parent curbside drop-offs will occur at the front of the building. Staff will be present to supervise students and allow students into the building starting at 9:15 AM. If you arrive before this time, your student will need to line up outside until students enter the building at 9:15 AM.

To help keep our students safe and maintain access for emergency vehicles, please do not park in the marked fire lane on the north side of the building (see photo below). This area is designated for active drop-off and pick-up only.
Please help us by following these guidelines:

• Do not park or leave your vehicle unattended in the fire lane.
• A fire hydrant is located along this lane and must remain accessible at all times.
• If you plan to walk your child into the building, please park in a designated parking space in the parking lot.
  
  The fire lane designation was established by the city of Maple Grove and must be followed. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us provide a safe and accessible environment for everyone.
