Jane Addams Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures

  • Student safety is our top concern. By following all posted signs, drop off/pick up  procedures, and driving regulations we can keep our children safe while keeping traffic moving  quickly. As a reminder, state law prohibits cell phone use in a school zone. It is also illegal to  pass a bus when its stop-arm is out. Thank you for your cooperation.  

    Morning (AM) and Afternoon (PM) Procedures 

    • Students should arrive to school no earlier than 7:20 a.m. (except for students eating breakfast). 
    • Breakfast begins at 7:20 a.m. There is no adult supervision prior to these times.
    • Students must be seated in their classrooms by 7:35 a.m. in order to be considered on time.  

    Bus Riders/Day Care Riders (The back of Jane Addams)

    • Buses enter the driveway in the back of the school. Students enter through the back doors (Doors 5 and 15) and are escorted to class.
    • NO cars are allowed in the bus zone in the morning. 

    Car Riders and Walkers (The front of Jane Addams)

    • Car riders should only use the car lane and exit from the passenger side of the vehicle only.
    • Cars must pull all the way forward in order to keep the line moving quickly. Please watch for staff members to wave you forward. 
    • NO cars should enter the staff parking lot to let children out there. It is unsafe to have students cross the Drop Off Lane. The JA parking lot is CLOSED for drop-off until 8:00 a.m.
    • Walkers should always stay on sidewalks.  

    School dismisses at 2:15 p.m. Monday–Thursday and at 1:25 p.m. on Fridays.
