Drop-off and Pick up Procedures at Stokoe Elementary School

School Arrivals and Departures:

Safety of our children is essential. Student behavior to and from school is subject to school behavioral expectations. Students riding a school bus must abide by all rules on the bus contract. Continued misbehavior on the bus may result in loss of bus privileges. The following information will help your child be safe:

Insist that your child go directly to and from school. We encourage parents never to let students travel alone.
Students should not arrive before 8:15 a.m.
Before school, primary and upper grade students will line up to be escorted to playground. Students wait in their classroom line for their teacher to escort them to class.
At dismissal, students stay with their teachers until they reach the gate where they are released.
All students must wait by the front gate for siblings or friends; students may not wait by other classrooms.
Please pick students up PROMPTLY after school. Parking lot curbing is a drop off and pick up zone only – you must stay in your car so that you don’t interrupt the flow of traffic. Parents must park in marked spaces only.
Students are not to cross the bus lane, parking lot, or street except at crosswalks.
Teach your child to walk on the side of the road facing on-coming traffic if there are no sidewalks.
Advise your child to avoid strangers, and not get into a car with someone s/he doesn’t know. Tell him/her not to accept money, candy or presents from strangers or other students, and not to help a stranger look for lost animals or get directions.
Parents picking up and dropping off students are required to comply with all traffic instructions for the safety of all children. Please be courteous of others by not blocking vehicle or pedestrian traffic, and by following requests made by staff. Parking is permitted only in designated areas. NO CURB PARKING ALLOWED IN PARKING LOT.
