Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Arrival Procedures

1. Driving: Enter the circle drive from the south. Proceed forward to the drop-off sign or until the car in front of you stops. Do not leave gaps between cars. Students exit from the right-hand side of the vehicle and parents remain inside the car. Students are monitored as they enter the building by Spring Brook staff members who are stationed along the front sidewalk.
2. Walking: Walkers may enter the building via any of the staffed entrance doors around the building and will proceed directly to their classrooms. Teachers are outside of their classrooms at the beginning of the day to greet students as they arrive.
3. Bus riders: Buses enter the parking lot and park alongside the sidewalk. Students exit the bus and are greeted by staff members. Students enter the building through door 2 and proceed directly to their classrooms.
4. Late arrival: If your child is late, please escort your child into the main entrance and sign-in with the office. Your child will be given a pass and will proceed to the classroom. Please report late arrivals by 10am using the ParentVUE app or by calling the attendance line. If your student needs to order a school lunch as a late-arriving student, please note that orders need to be placed with the office by 10am.

Dismissal Procedures

1. Driving: Entry into the front drive is not permitted from 3:15-3:45pm daily as buses will be entering. Parking is limited around the school, so please decide upon a meeting location with your child. You may find legal, street parking and then walk to the school to meet your student. Please refrain from double parking or parking in a “No Parking” zone. Please respect the instruction from our crossing guards if given.
2. Walking: Walkers will exit the building as designated by their classroom teachers at the beginning of the year. Kindergarten students who will be walking home will exit from door 12.
3. Bus riders: Bus riders will be dismissed from their rooms and will wait in the hallway for buses to be called. Bus riders will line up according to their bus numbers. When a specific bus is called, a staff member will escort all students on that bus to the bus parked in the circle drive. A staff member will wait with the bus until all students have loaded and the bus has departed.
4. Early dismissal: Early dismissals need to be made no later than 3:15pm. We cannot dismiss after 3:15pm. If your child needs to be picked up early, please call or send a note to either the office or your child’s teacher, when possible. Once you arrive at school, please come into the office and sign your child out. Your child will be called to the office at that time. As noted above, cars are not allowed in the front drive from 3:15-3:45pm.
