ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL

Turn LEFT into the loop, turn RIGHT out of the loop. THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.

  • It is critical that parents do not line up on Stadium Drive. Please park in a marked/legal parking space in our new parking lot or along Stadium Drive and wait for staff to signal that the arrival/dismissal process is beginning.

  • Students should not be dropped off until 8:05am once staff is present, doors will NOT open until 8:05am.

  • You CAN NOT turn right into the parent loop when there is active traffic - only a left turn in is allowed. All parent loop traffic must enter from Scripps Road passing the high school and football field. DO NOT cut through near Scripps/CERC.

  • Once you have dropped off/picked up your student,(s), cars will be directed to exit again towards the high school. You MUST TURN RIGHT during active traffic.

  • Students must exit/enter the passenger side of the vehicle as soon as the vehicle is safely stopped in the loop. You DO NOT have to wait for a staff member to open your car doors for students to exit/enter the vehicle. Once your vehicle is stopped along the curb, students should exit/enter.

  • Parents may park in the upper parking lot and walk their child to the stairs. The upper parking lot is NOT a drop off loop.

  • If you are arriving to school in the morning after 8:15am and there are not any staff members outside, you must park in a parking spot and walk your student to the office to be signed in.

  • Once you enter the parent loop, please stay in your vehicle and DO NOT use your cell phone.

  • Contact the main office at (248) 693-5475 or send in a handwritten/signed note if there is a change for how your child is supposed to go home. If your child does not have a note or the office has not been contacted, they will be sent home according to their daily routine. Please DO NOT rely on emails sent to teachers for dismissal changes.

Absences & Late AM Arrival

If/when your child is absent, please contact the Main Office via phone 248-693-5475 or email abby.buchanan@lok12.org and/or jaime.kinser@lok12.org If a message is not received by you in the office, the office will be calling home to verify the absence. If you email the teacher, please always copy the office regarding absences as those emails are not always forwarded to the office.

If you are arriving to school in the morning after 8:15am and/or there are not any staff members present outside, you must park in a parking spot and walk your student to the office to sign in.

Positivity Project

This year we will be continuing The Positivity Project. Students will begin studying the 24 character strengths through The Positivity Project (P2) during the second week of school. It is encouraged for you to have conversations with your child regarding the character strengths they are studying for the week. It is our hope that these strengths will continue to shine for our students not only in school, but also at home and in the community.

To reduce weekly emails, this year the family letter will be linked in each Friday Stadium Happenings communication.
