8:30 AM school doors will open and staff will be on door/sidewalk duty.

All AM car riders will pull to the middle lane of the parking lot and exit the vehicle at the opening in the fence marked "Student Drop Off". Children should be ready to exit their vehicles quickly. It is not acceptable at any time to pull up to the sidewalk and drop your child off or for a child to walk unsupervised through the parking lot. This area is to remain clear for busses and emergency traffic at all times. Children should be in their seats by 8:50 a.m. when announcements begin.

Dismissal
Dismissal Procedures
You should expect some delays at dismissal as well as we work through new dismissal procedures. We will be carefully monitoring dismissal each day and will make necessary adjustments to ensure we are reducing the wait time. Mentor Police will be helping to direct traffic on Wednesday afternoon on Hendricks Please note the traffic pattern to follow when picking up your child.
Families with car riders must complete this Orchard Car Rider Request Form to receive a tag for their vehicle. Matching tags will then be created for each student's backpack. These tags will allow staff to call cars and correctly match the child to the correct vehicle during dismissal. Tags will be handed out during the first week of school. Please display your tag when picking up your child. On the first day, we will be asking for your last name when you pull up and this may take a little longer on the first day.
Dismissal will begin at 2:50 PM.
2:50 PM - We Care/Day Care will be dismissed by grade level to the gym
