Arrival & Dismissal
Bell Schedule
Reminder
The elementary school hours are 7:55AM to 2:55PM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday and 7:55AM to 1:55PM on Thursday. Students may not arrive at school before 7:40am, which is when inside supervision begins, and this includes students eating breakfast which begins at 7:40am. We do have some buses arriving at 7:30am, so these bus riders may enter for breakfast when they arrive.
7:40 Students may enter school using the front doors to go through the breakfast line and go to their classrooms, or they may go directly to their classrooms. Hand sanitizer will be used upon entry to the building through the front doors. There will be staff inside and outside to help direct students to their classrooms.
7:50 First bell rings
7:55 Tardy Bell Rings
It is extremely important that students arrive on time for school. The first bell rings at 7:50 a.m. Then, when the second bell rings at 7:55, many things occur, for example, attendance, lunch count, opening announcements and the beginning of instructional time.
Bus Loading and Unloading
The Borlaug Community has in place the following traffic procedures for the safety of our students, families, and staff. This information is for parents choosing to drop off and pick up students from school at the start and end of the day. Please help us ensure the safety of our students. Remember there can never be a rule for every situation. Please use common courtesy when picking up students.
The bus loading and unloading area is on the southwest corner of the building, south of the gym, in the west parking lot. Buses unload/load students from 7:40-7:50 a.m. and from 2:40-3:00 p.m. on MTWF and 1:40 – 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays. Cars should not unload students in the bus loading area.
Vehicle Loading and Unloading
Unloading
Please drop off children ONLY in the designated area labeled with numbers one through seven, at the curb in the loading and unloading zone on the southeast side of the building in the east parking lot. Do not leave your vehicle. If you need to do so, please park in the parking lot. Pull to the right to unload your child at the curb, stay in the right lane to exit, and please do not go around vehicles.
DO NOT LEAVE STUDENTS OFF IN THE STREET
Loading
Car line is after school "pick up" for students riding in a vehicle. Follow the far east driveway around the parking lots to the designated pick-up loop.
Please have a sign with the last name of any child you are picking up. Be sure the sign is big enough to read from a distance and display it in the right-hand corner of the dashboard. This sign aids teachers in identifying cars. Your child will stand behind the yellow line. Car line supervisors will direct five cars at a time to move forward into the five numbered spots. Drivers must wait to be directed to move forward. To make this process work and to be safe, cars will not be permitted in the left-hand lane. The supervisors will direct your child to your car as you wait in your numbered spot. Students are encouraged to stand with their siblings and/or carpool group regardless of grade level. For safety reasons, all drivers will remain in their cars. Any driver wishing to exit his/her car must use a parking space in the parking lot. Students not picked up by 3:10 M, T, W, F and 2:10 TH will be sent to the office.
