New Pick-Up Procedures

Beginning on Tuesday, January 20, GVCS will be instituting new pick-up guidelines for student pick-up at the conclusion of the school day. (Reminder: there is no school on Monday, January 19 for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.)

Elementary Students

PK3 to grade 6 students riding the bus will exit out of the main elementary doors (same doors used for morning drop off)

PK3 to Grade 6 Students being picked up by an adult will be picked up in the pool vestibule behind the school.

• PK3, PK4 and Kindergarten will head to the pool vestibule at 2:42 p.m.
• Grades 1 & 2 will head to the pool vestibule at 2:45 p.m.
• Grades 3 & 4 will head to the pool vestibule at 2:50 p.m.
• Grades 5 & 6 will head to the pool vestibule at 2:54 p.m.

We will follow the same process at the pool vestibule that we follow in the front of the building: students will be released to their family/authorized pick-up person when that person comes to the door.

All adults will remain outside of the building. 

See pictures below for the Elementary pick-up location.

Secondary Students

Students riding the bus will exit the doors across from the flagpole (doors they currently use)

Students being picked up will exit through the doors near the small parking lot (area currently used for morning drop-off) 

FAQ

What if an older student (grades 7-12) has younger siblings?

The older student will go to the pool vestibule for pick up, so the family only needs to manage one pick up area.

What about students who stay after school for sports and may be in the pool vestibule?

Elementary dismissal will be completed before most secondary students staying for sports arrive. If there is any overlap, designated tables will be used for these students so elementary pick-up can continue safely and without disruption.

How do those in the pool vestibule area communicate with the main office or welcome center if there is an issue?

There will always be at least one staff member in the pool vestibule area who can facilitate communication.
