Health Guidance for Going to School (Handout)
This handout has been adopted/adjusted to meet JCPS requirements to answer the questions, “When can I go to school?” and “When do I have to stay home?” Please feel free to share this document as you need to best meet the needs of your school community.
Reminders
Arrival/Dismissal Reminders
- Latest pick up time for students is 3:00 pm. Dismissing students after 3:00 pm causes disruption to our afternoon processes and procedures and impacts our ability to keep everyone safe through the dismissal process.
- Please remember that our campus is a drug-free/smoke-free environment. This includes our parking lot and car rider line. Please refrain from smoking and/or vaping while waiting in line for your child.
- Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the car rider line. There are a lot of moving parts to our arrival and dismissal processes and we want to make sure everyone remains safe.

JCPS has put together a site that can help you make sure you are connected to your child's classroom through the JCPS app and Rooms.
It's extremely important that you have the JCPS app because it's where we send out reminders, updates, important information, and you can connect directly to your child's teachers, Ms. Barnes or Ms. Willoughby.
