ARRIVAL
We will be updating the arrival procedures in the morning.
- Students will be entering through the classroom staircase wing entrances of the building off of 89th (E1) and 90th (W8).
- Students and Guardians who need to drop off items in the office can still enter through the front office.
The purpose of this change is to mitigate the number of doors that need to be supervised during our soft start from 8:00 - 8:30.
DISMISSAL - END OF DAY
We will be updating the dismissal procedures for students in the interest of student safety.
- Car Pick Up: Students who will be picked up by car (and guardians would like to stay in the car) will be picked up at our new car pick up location on 89th street. Signs will be disrupted so staff can easily identify cars and let the students know their car is approaching the car pick up zone.
- Parent Pick Up: If parents/guardians would like to meet their child at McKinley to walk them home they will meet their child on our playground on 90th street. The parents/guardians will check in with a staff member and let them know that they are there to pick up their child. Students are then released to pick up their child and walk them home or to their car parked in the neighborhood.
- Student Walkers and Bikers: Students who are walking and biking to school on their own are released from the classroom staircase wing entrances on 90th (W8).
We will be releasing soon updated maps and videos that will go over this procedure. We expect some hiccups the first week as both families, students, and staff learn these new procedures and we appreciate your patience. The sole purpose for the implementation of this new plan is student safety.
