Arrival and Dismissal Traffic Flow Patterns

  • DOORS DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 8:10.

    CHILDREN ARRIVING EARLY ARE NOT LET INTO THE SCHOOL BUILDING BEFORE 8:10.

    CHILDREN DROPPED OFF BEFORE 8:10 ARE NOT SUPERVISED OUTSIDE BY MJE STAFF.

     

    PARENT RESPONSIBILITY

    Students arriving prior to 8:10 are not supervised by MJE Staff members as they do not start their day until 8:05. That gives them time to arrive and get out to duty by 8:10.

    In the past, some families in our community have requested we come out and monitor the children before we open. As you can see from my statement above, we simply cannot provide supervision to students who are dropped off or choose to arrive BEFORE WE ARE SCHEDULED to be at work. We are once again asking parents not to allow their children to arrive early nor drop off their children unsupervised at this time.

    Some kids have been observed starting pick up games of soccer or football and parents are concerned for their safety as balls get loose and go into the parent drive while cars are coming through. We are asking parents to once again let their children know that this should not occur in the mornings before school. There is no reason they should be asking you to come early to hang out before school starts. Please feel free to blame it on me and tell them, "Mr. Kemp has requested us to not do this."

    As parents, we would not drop off our children at the mall or water park unsupervised before it opens and I am asking for the same procedures to be followed for school. We cannot be responsible for students who come early and hang out BEFORE WE ARE OPEN. Thank you for your help in keeping our students as SAFE as possible as they come to school each day.

     

    PARKING LOT CLOSURES

    Due to safety issues with large enrollment and increased traffic, we observe the following parking lot closures:

    • Front Parking Lot: Morning closure: 8:05 - 8:30
    • Front Parking Lot: Afternoon closure: 3:35 - 4:05
    • Teacher Parking Lot: Morning closure: 8:05 - 8:30
    • Teacher Parking Lot: Afternoon closure: 3:30 - Buses and Daycare depart
     

    SKIPPING AROUND IN CAR RIDER LINE (LINE JUMPERS)

    Occasionally, some of our parents find a gap in the line next to them while navigating the car rider line and decide to line jump in an effort to get ahead. We want to take the time to explain this does the exact opposite for you and for all of the parents who happen to be around you when you make the jump. At dismissal, all kids are assigned a specific PAW to stand on that will closely correlate to the number you arrive on when time to pick them up. Line jumpers think they are getting ahead but you will actually get there before your child arrives and you will not arrive at the correct PAW to pick them up. Mostly resulting in your having to pull up past PAW 1 to wait for us to get your child up to you for loading.SKIPPING SETS YOU and EVERYONE ELSE BACK. Please stay in line.
