• Gates will open and supervision will begin as early as 7:40am.  

• CAR DROP OFF (Along Mountain Trail) - Please pull forward in the drop off zone and stop.  Students should QUICKLY exit the car on the passenger side and will continue onto campus.  There will not be a temperature check this year, as you will have screened at home.

• WALKING DROP OFF -Students will enter campus through the Kindergarten gate or along Mountain Trail entrance.  

• KINDER DROP OFF - Kindergarten students will enter the yard through the K Gate in the front of the school.  If they are being dropped off in car pickup, there is a back way into the K yard that we will help them with!  

• PARENTS ON CAMPUS - Parents can accompany their children for the first couple of days onto the yard, but when it’s time for class to start, we ask that our visitors leave campus.  Parents will not be able to go into the classrooms during this time.  Please note that only students are allowed on the equipment, not younger siblings.  

PICK UP:

• Car Pick Up - BACK PARKING LOT

  • Cars will line up into the back parking lot for our 2:50 (Monday-Thursday), 12:55 (Friday) dismissal.  You will arrive, and we will send your child out to the car when you pull up.  

  • Please put names of children you are picking up on a sheet of paper that you put in the windshield of your vehicle.  Grade level is also helpful!  

  • Be patient - once we start the line moving, it goes quite smoothly!   

• Walking Pick Up - Front Quad Area

  • Parents can wait for students in our front quad area near the kindergarten gate and flagpole.  All children will be leaving through these exits.

PARKING - 

• Parking can be very difficult at any school, especially on special days like the first day of class!  Please plan accordingly, and make sure to follow all the parking lot directions and arrows along with our city ordinances.  If you are able to walk or use other transportation to arrive at AWALA, it’s much appreciated!
