Anderson Elementary Parents:
We have received the safety surveys back and found the information was very
informative! Thank you for your participation. In an effort to follow up
on some suggestions, we have implemented new procedures for car riders and
walk up dimissals. These procedures may cause some delays. Keep in mind
that we have over 250 students being picked up daily. Our main objective is
to get everyone through dismissal safely. Please be patient and
supportive! Your cooperation is essential and appreciated!
Changes in Pick Up Procedure:
*A staff member will assign you a numbered spot for you to pull your car up
to while waiting in the pick up line. A staff member will be holding a sign
with a number to make sure that you know where to pull up. In addition, we
are in the process of placing permanent sign posts with these numbers for
this procedure.
*Students will be loaded at this assigned spot only through the passenger
side. If possible and safe, open automatic doors just prior to pulling into
your designated spot.
*Do not pull around other cars unless directed by a staff member.
*Please WAIT until the cars in front of you have pulled away before leaving
the dismissal area.
*If you are in the #1 spot, please wait until a staff member signals you to
pull away.
Changes in Car Pick Up Identification Process:
*Every car picking up a student will be required to display a sign with
child's name and grade level.
*If you have more than one student to pick up, you may put the last name of
each child and their grade on the card(s).
*Please place this sign in a very visible location such as the passenger
side visor. We will distribute 2 cards for each car rider family. You may
request additional signs through your homeroom teacher.
*If you have someone else picking up your child, please give them your card
or they will have to park and go into the office. Anyone picking up your
child is required to be listed on the check out verification list that is on
file in the office and must have proper identification.
*It is required that you call the office before 2:00 when you have a change
in transportation or when someone else is picking up your child(ren), unless
it is an emergency.
*IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CARD IN YOUR VEHICLE AT DISMISSAL, YOU CANNOT GO
THROUGH THE PICK UP CIRCLE. You will have to park and come to the Walk Up
Line just outside the exterior media center door and show proper
identification.
IF YOU ARE NOT WAITING IN THE CAR PICK UP LINE, BUT ARE WALKING UP TO PICK
UP YOUR CHILDREN....We have made some changes to help keep your children
safe.
*Please do not crowd the main entrance, wait in the lobby, or sit on the
student benches after 2:15.
*Please wait in line at the outside door of the media center (the fire
door). Once you have shown proper identification, a staff member will call
your child(ren) for dismissal to the media center.
For the childrens' safety, no one will be permitted to take a child off the
premises unless they follow the above outlined dismissal procedures for
Anderson Elementary. Thank you for your understanding!
