Arrival/Dismissal Procedures
MORNING DROP OFF:
Samuelson doors open at 7:25 AM. There will be adult supervision outside starting at 7:15 AM. Children arriving after 7:40 AM are considered late and must go to the office for a late pass. For the 24-25 school year, all students must enter through the front doors of the building. We will not be using side doors for student arrival in the mornings.
If you are dropping off your child in a car, please enter on Lindlavista Way. You can drop off along the sidewalk at the side of the school. The area in front of Samuelson, along Bel-Aire Road, is reserved for buses and day care vans only. Stay on the right side of the road as you drive along Bel-Aire. For the safety of your children and other drivers, do not make u-turns in front of the school. This will help traffic move as quickly and smoothly as possible.
AFTERNOON PICK UP:
We ask that parents/guardians do not come into the building at dismissal. All students will be dismissed with their classrooms and walked outside with building staff.
No students will be pulled from class after 2:20. If you need to get your child out of class early, please do so before 2:20 or wait for them to dismiss with their class.
If you are picking up your child in a car, enter on Lindlavista Way or Crestmoor Place (please do not block the driveways of our neighbors while waiting in line). Stay in your car in the car line. The children will line up on the sidewalk at the side of the school. When it is your turn, a teacher will place your child in your car. You may then pull forward or around as directed. You must turn right on Bel-Aire Road at dismissal time. The area in front of Samuelson, along Bel-Aire Road, is reserved for buses and day care vans only.
Student Dismissal Time Starts at 2:35 PM.
PARKING:
Please do not park along Lindlavista Way. One lane must stay open on Lindlavista Way for the car line and emergency vehicles.
Thank you for your cooperation.
