School Hours / Arrival-Dismissal Procedures

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures - Drop off and Pick Up 
Keeping your child safe as they arrive and depart school each day is very important to us. Please read the processes below carefully so we are all aware of how arrival and dismissal procedures work.

Arrival Procedures
Our staff begins monitoring our doors at 8:20 a.m. Please do not leave your child unsupervised outside of a Churchill door earlier than this time. All doors are labeled with door numbers. Please see below for recommendations on where your child should enter if they are a walker or car rider. Doors will remain open from 8:20-8:30. After 8:30, all students must enter through the front door (Door 1) and report to the office with a parent or guardian. Students arriving after 8:30 will be tardy and need to be signed in.

Dismissal Procedures
At 3:30 p.m., students taking the bus will be dismissed to load their buses first. Parents and guardians picking up their child via car should pull into the parking lot towards our front entrance, Door 1. Please remain in a line and do not use the shoulder to advance past other waiting cars. Please have a sign in your passenger side window with your child(ren)’s last name. We will have staff stationed at the front door calling students to their vehicles. With the number of cars we are supporting in our lot at one time, this can be a time consuming process, especially in the beginning. Please be patient and know your child’s safety is our number one priority.
