Overview

Arrival:

• School begins at 8:50. Any student entering school after 8:50 a.m. is considered tardy and will need to be signed into the front office.
• Teacher supervision at the Heath Brook School begins at 8:35 a.m.  Students should not be dropped off at the school prior to this time.
• Students arriving between 8:35 – 8:50 a.m. may play outdoors weather permitting.

• Car – Parent Drop Off & Pick Up: When arriving, stay to the LEFT of the barricades. Follow the white line as it guides you around the parking lot. Please pull up as close to the car in front of you as possible so we can get as many cars as possible off the street. Starting at 8:35, a staff member will be there to assist your child(ren) in exiting the car. To help with this, your child should be seated behind the driver, and parents should remain in the car whenever possible. In the afternoon, we will release students in the same fashion. For a smooth flow, students should get out of, or into, the car independently as much as possible, so cars behind you can quickly drop off or pick up their child(ren). When leaving, keep to the LEFT side of the barricades along the side of the school building. Finally, exit the property through the exit only driveway.
