2026 GA Arrival Pickup

 

 

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:  

 

  • Perimeter Lanes (Drop & Go / Pick Up & Go): Please use the right lanes around the perimeter of the school exclusively for quick drop off and pick up. Do not park or leave your car unattended in these spaces. Please adhere to the parking regulations on Putnam, Huntington and Sage NO PARKING/NO STANDING between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with all parking rules.  Here is a visual for your reference.

  • Alternative Parking: We recognize that parking directly around the school can be a challenge. We strongly recommend parking on nearby side streets and walking to the school rather than using perimeter drop-off spaces for parking.

  • Double parking is prohibited and causes congestion. Please click this link for important Safety Guidelines.

 

8:15     Students may be dropped off at the OMPR entrance located on Sage Terrace no earlier than 8:15 where they will be supervised by a teacher aide.  At 8:25 students will proceed to their respective classrooms. Kindergarten students will be escorted to their rooms. Please note, parents will not be allowed to enter the OMPR.

8:29     The second bell will ring and the Sage Terrace, Putnam Road and Huntington Avenue entrances will be locked. Students arriving after 8:29 must enter the building using the main entrance at Sage Terrace, then go directly to the nurse’s office to inform her of their arrival.  Please do not drop students off at any other entrances without making sure they have entered the building before driving away.
