We are so excited to see all of our students on the first day of school!
On the first day, the school will be open between 7:30 and 8:00 for students to enter.
If you have a student in 3K, 4K, 5K, 1st grade, or are new to SME, you are invited to park and walk your student into the school. With our new construction, parking is going to be a challenge this year. However, you are welcome to park in the grass or in any available space if you want to walk your student into the classroom. At 8:00, parents will need to exit the building so that we can begin the day.
3K and 4K parents may walk their student in August 1 and 2. Beginning August 3, all students will need to walk in. We will have fifth graders and adults at every entrance to help students arrive safely in classrooms.
On a regular day, if you are dropping off your student, here is what to do:
1. 3K and 4K students (as well as students riding with them) will drop off in the back of the school in the bus loop between 7:45 and 8:00. Please do not drop off before 7:45 as the buses will still be in this lane. There will be flags to indicate drop off area.
2. Students who would like to eat breakfast should drop off in front of the cafeteria. To do this, enter in the middle lane and then you will be directed to the curb lane to drop off.
3. Students who would NOT like breakfast can be dropped off either in front of the K5 wing or in front of cafeteria. Please use the curbside lane or middle lane.
Dismissal will begin at 2:15 for 3K, 4K, and 5K. All other students will be dismissed at 2:30. Please see the pictures below to see the lane for picking up your student.
**A video will sent closer to the beginning of school to help understand how the carline works in the morning and afternoon.
