Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures
At the current time, we are not permitted to allow parents into the school building. This procedure is in place to limit exposure and protect the students and teachers in the school given the current Covid-19 pandemic. Drop off procedures will vary depending upon where you are dropping off, but here is an overview of the process:
INFANT/TODDLER DROP OFF: Infants and toddlers can be dropped off at the first set of doors in the Advent Lutheran Church building. When you arrive to drop off, please send a message on Brightwheel to your child's teachers and a staff member will be out shortly to assist you.
PRESCHOOL DROP OFF: Preschool students can be dropped off at the entrance doors around the back of the Advent Lutheran Church building. When you get to the church, follow the parking lot around to the back of the building. The children will enter through the glass doors. We are asking that preschool students plan to arrive by 9:00 AM. Between 7-9 AM, we will have staff members available at the entrance to assist you with drop off.
SCHOOL AGE DROP OFF: Kindergarten and Elementary students can be dropped off at the entrance doors at the Bynum Road building. When you arrive to drop off, please send a message in Brightwheel to your child's teachers and a staff member will be out shortly to assist you.
There are some additional procedures in place as part of the drop off routine. Each child arriving will be screened for any signs of illness. A staff member will take your child's temperature and record it for future reference. We will also ask the parents to answer a series of health questions about your child's current health and any symptoms your child may be experiencing. We have incorporated the health screening questions into our Brightwheel check in process and parents can answer all of the questions electronically. If your child has any symptoms including fever, headache, or tummy troubles, if your child has been exposed to anyone with Covid, or if anyone else in your household is sick, your child will not be able to attend school.
At the end of the day, we are asking parents in the Infant/Toddler building and School Age building to please send a message in Brightwheel when you arrive for pick up. A staff person will be out with your child shortly. At the preschool building, we will have staff monitoring the entrance for parents and we will bring your child out to you. Please remember that sometimes we are transporting multiple children and very often children do not move quickly. Please be patient! At the end of the day parents will use the QR code scan feature in Brightwheel to check your child out. Please be sure that all people dropping off or picking up your child have access to the Brightwheel app.
