Morning Drop-Off Procedure

Dear Grainwood Families,

For those who transport their children to school each morning, or on occasion, please notice the NO PARKING signs posted in the grass near the curb.  This should assist in creating a space dedicated for student drop-off each morning.  Please utilize this area for drop-off by pulling over to the curb and letting your child off.  DO NOT pull into the yellow or handicap areas in front of the building for drop-off or stop your vehicle in the street.  Dropping off at the curb, between the signs, will create the safest drop-off scenario for all!

1.  Students are monitored in the AM beginning at 8:15.  Be early when dropping off your child.  In poor weather conditions (rain or extreme cold), students are allowed inside the building.
2.  Please do not park in or block the three designated handicap spaces or the yellow striped area in the front of the building.  We have several students and families who require the handicap spaces each morning.  Please be mindful of their needs.
3.  Drop your student off down the sidewalk near St. Paul Avenue.  He/she/they can walk up the sidewalk and still enter school on time.
4.  Lastly, go slow, take your time, and please do not go around other cars and block on-coming traffic or let your child out in the middle of the street.

Thank you for your attention to a safe and peaceful morning drop-off!  Safety should be number one priority for everyone!
