PK4 and Kindergarten drop off and pickup happens in the back of the school. If you are staying in your car, please pass the front of the school and enter the circle drive. Hug the right curb so that PK3 families can pass. PK3 drop off and pickup is located on the opposite side of the school. Please carefully use the left lane to pass/go around the PK4 and Kinder line.
Remember to DRIVE SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY as there could be people parking and walking all around the school, and we want EVERYONE to BE SAFE!
You can help make drop off go faster by having your child ready. Thank you for helping to make the mornings and afternoons as smooth and safe as possible!
Please remember:
- Uphaus students students should wear their ID badges to school every day. The first badge is free, and replacements are $5.
- Place your car sign on your windshield for parent pick up. Our dismissal process goes much faster when all signs are visible.
- PK4 & Kinder families - Please allow PK3 families to go around the outer lane to drop off their scholars on the far right side of the building. Reminder: The outer lane is for PK3 and the inner lane is for PK4 and Kinder.
- Please ensure that your child is in the back passenger side and ready for an Uphaus staff member to help them to get out of your car. Parents will stay in the vehicle. Your assistance allows us to keep the traffic flowing quickly.
