Hope teachers are on duty fifteen minutes at the end of the day to help monitor safe dismissal for students. We do not have supervision after safe dismissal.

Please continue to observe our requirement to stay in your vehicle across the front of the campus. Remember to pull your vehicle forward as space becomes available while waiting at the curb - this allows for additional vehicles to enter the parking lot. Do not leave your car unattended next to the curb during student arrival and dismissal times.

Many families enjoy walking their student(s) to school, so please be safe and cautious as your drive around our safe school zone.

Pickup

You can make use of the additional on street parking between the school and Chatham. The city has taken out the bike lane in this section. Many parents instruct their children to meet them at the car on Tamarack, Chatham, or side streets from Wilshire. Parents are encouraged to make these arrangements if the parents are already waiting when the children are dismissed. Hope does not want to see children standing on the streets unattended and/or alone waiting for late parents to arrive.

Dropoff

Plan to arrive early as school starts at 8 AM for grades 1-5 and early bird kindergarten students (9:55 AM for Late Owls).

If you plan on driving through our parking lot to drop off your student, remember the following safety rules:

1. Drivers must stay in their vehicle as they pull along side the curb to drop off their student(s).

2. Pull all the way forward to close significant gaps as this allows more cars in from the street.

3. Do not cut into the parking lot curb lane.

4. Students should only exit a vehicle along the curbside of the vehicle.

Safety first!
