Arrival Reminders
8/25/2024 3:28 pm
School starts back TOMORROW and we need your help to ensure a smooth first day of drop-off and pick-up at OP! Here are a few reminders:
-Parents may walk their students to the main entrance if they wish but for the safety of all students, parents will not be able to enter the building. Please be assured that we have staff and volunteers ready to assist if any students need help finding their classrooms or with anything else.
-Please don't allow students to get out of the car (passenger side only) until the bell rings at 7:45 AM and staff are ready to greet them. The carpool line may be very busy the first few days, but should improve throughout the week!
-Submit the 3-5 Walker Waiver google form HERE if you want to give permission for your child/children to walk or ride their bike home without an adult.
-If you park in the OP Neighborhood and walk, please be kind to your neighbors and don't block driveways and park at least 50 ft from stop signs.
-Don't forget your Car Tags and Walker Cards for afternoon pick up!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!
