Returning to Union Elementary School - details about drop-off and pick-up

 Hello families, we are very excited to welcome your children to school on September 8th! Here are some important details about coming to Union Elementary School:

On September 8 and 9, the morning bus will not run. Each grade will have a different arrival time. This is so we can practice our arrival system. This is the schedule for Sept. 8 and 9:

Grades will arrive at these times on the first two days of school only:
Grade	Arrival Time
Grade 4	8:00AM
Grade 3	8:30AM
Grade 2	9:00AM
Grade 1	9:30AM
Grade K	10:00AM

Starting on September 10, each morning, students arriving by foot or car will line up by class outside of the school between 8:00 - 8:15 am. The gate for entry will close at 8:20 am each morning.

If a family misses the morning arrival time (between 8:00 - 8:20 am) they can return at 10 am and press the buzzer on the front door of the school.

Car drop-off and pick-up will happen on Loomis Street - the same as in the past.  

Walking students will need to enter and exit near the upper playground, from Hubbard Street. This is a change from the past!

In the afternoon, bus students will be dismissed at 1:00. Car pick-up and walking students will be dismissed at 1:15. 

If your student is walking home, plan to meet them near the upper playground. You will need to use Hubbard Street to get to the playground.

Here is a video of the drop-off and pick-up procedures (skip forward to 25:25).

Questions to ask your child every morning: Please look at page 2 of this document from Nurse Megan and ask your child these questions every morning before coming to school. If the answer is YES to any question, please keep your child at home that day.

Please contact us if you have any questions about this!
