AES FAMILIES...Let's arrive safely to school each morning! Please follow these guidelines for AES morning drop off.
*At 7:25, breakfast begins and staff will come out to assist students out of vehicles.
*All morning drop offs are on the south parking lot of the elementary.
*Follow the morning drop off map as shown in the photo.
*Please make every effort to have your child exit the passenger side of car, and ready with backpack/items to keep the line moving smoothly.
*Morning staff are there to assist until 8:00, when breakfast ends.
*The front driveway and door are NOT a morning drop off zone unless your child requires additional arrival assistance, or your child arrives AFTER 8am. In these cases, please park in a parking spot to accompany them inside. Do not leave car running on curb.
*Once students are inside, they begin going to classrooms to start their day at 7:45 and arrivals after 8:00 are marked as tardy. If your student is tardy, please park and walk in with them to check in.
Thank you for helping us with these steps each morning! The procedures help us to provide a smooth start to your child’s day and keeps all our school families safe!
