Walkers: Drop-off and Pickup Procedures
Morning Procedures
Staff members do NOT supervise the front of the building before 7:45AM.
Students should not be left unsupervised in front of the building before the doors open.
Walkers will be allowed to enter the building at 7:45 AM and should enter the building through DOOR #7 (front ramp leading to New Cafeteria).
Parents may NOT park or drop-off students in front of the building.
Due to safety concerns for other walkers and bus riders, cars should NOT drive down Barth Ave., or park in front of the building, between the hours of 7:30AM - 8:15AM.
DOOR #7 closes at 8:15AM. Any students arriving after 8:15AM must go through DOOR #1 to the front office to be checked in.
Students listed as Walkers will not be allowed to enter through the front office before 8:15AM.
Dismissal Procedures
An adult must be present for a student to leave the building as a Walker.
If you want your student to walk home, without an adult present, a walker waiver must be on file in the front office.
Walkers will be dismissed at 2:55PM, to avoid students crossing the street while busses are leaving.
Walkers are dismissed a few minutes earlier than everyone else to help avoid students having to cross the street while buses are leaving.
Walkers will exit the building through DOOR #6 (Double Doors facing Barth Ave.).
Walkers will cross Barth Ave., at the crosswalk, and proceed to walk to the adult waiting to pick them up.
Students with a Walker Waiver on file, in the front office, will be allowed to walk home without an adult present.
Students will only be allowed to walk home if the location is within .5 miles of the school.
Cars may NOT park or pickup students in front of the building.
Due to safety concerns for other walkers and bus riders, cars should NOT drive down Barth Ave., or park in front of the building, between the hours of 2:30PM - 3:30PM.
If attempting to find a legal parking spot on the street, please ensure there is adequate distance between the vehicle and stop sign.
Indiana Code 9-21-16-5 states that a vehicle must not be parked within 30 feet of a stop sign. This regulation helps ensure visibility and safety at intersections.
Students listed as Walkers will not be allowed to exit through the front office.
