Drop Off and Pick-up Procedures

We want to clarify and reiterate a few steps to help keep everyone safe:
 
  • Please do not make u-turns anywhere on Sacramento. This causes congestion and is unsafe.
  • Do not drop your child off on the opposite side of Sacramento (headed north).
  • Do not double park anywhere on Sacramento.
  • Do you use the staff parking lot as a driveway to turn around. Please do not park in the staff parking lot at anytime without permission from the school. This includes after school pick up.
  • If walking your child to school, you may walk your child to the playground entrance located off our staff parking lot. You'll be greeted by a staff member who will ensure your child enters the playground safety. Give a big hug and say 'good bye' before your child enters the playground. Parents are not permitted on the playground starting at 7:30am. We have additional staff on the playground to supervise students.
 
If you are using Kiss & Go services:
 
  • Drive slowly when approaching the school and following any directions given by Decatur staff.
  • Pull your car all the way forward by the Kiss & Go sign (near the front door). This allows for more cars to safety fit at one time.
  • Make sure you child is ready to get out of the car. This includes having all their items ready and in hand.
  • Parents should not get out of the car.
 
When picking up from the playground:
 
  • Parents/caregivers can access the playground only through our parking lot (see map below).
  • Do not enter the playground area until 2:40pm.
  • Remember that we we kindly ask all families to promptly exit the playground once you have picked up/dropped off your child(ren) due to construction and space limitations.
  • If you are running late to pick up your child, please notify the school asap.
