Drop-Off:

Morning drop-off (7:45-8:15) can be done at the Main Entrance/Office or the Elementary wing on the East side of the building only. We are looking at the safety of the students and all the traffic that there is at that time.

If you are dropping off your student after 8:15 or before 3:00, please do so at the Main Entrance, NOT the Elementary Doors. The office needs to make sure that the kids are getting checked in/out accordingly.

Pick-Up:

After school pick-up (after 3:00) can be done at the Office or classroom. If you are picking up on the East side by the Elementary wing, please come into the building and pick your child up in their classrooms. If you are picking up your student before 3:00, please do so at the Main Entrance, NOT the Elementary Doors. The office needs to make sure that the kids are getting checked in/out accordingly.

ONLY park in designated parking spaces.

This will ensure smooth traffic movement and the safety of our student/staff during release time.

THANK YOU!!

If your child has to be gone from school instruction for any reason, please call the attendance line at 507-582-3568 option #1, or by email mviker@isd500.k12.mn.us
