Quick Reference
Arrival on Augusta through the playground
Please plan to arrive at 7:40 am to ensure your child has time for their temperature check and verification that the health screener was completed. Students will be led to their classroom. Other adults will be in the hallways to assist and classroom teachers will meet students outside and bring them in. Remind your child to ask for help if they need it. Dismissal Augusta through the playground DO NOT DOUBLE PARK ON AUGUSTA. DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY AND PARK ON AUGUSTA. IF YOU NEED TO, DRIVE AROUND. Pick-up will be at 2:45 at Augusta and the playground entrance. For safety purposes, please wait in your cars for your child to be dismissed. We will bring your child to you. We appreciate you communicating this to anyone on your approved pick-up list. Please send your teacher an email if you need to chat. Teachers will not linger due to social distancing protocols at dismissal but are happy to set up a time to meet virtually.
