New Arrival/Dismissal Carpool Procedures
Dear Amana Families:
Please CLICK HERE to review our school's new morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up procedures. The new procedures are a result of detailed discussions with our Administration, our Alpharetta Police Officer, and our property manager. Our primary concerns are your child's safety and the efficiency of movement.
As with every school, the first week's carpool will take longer, yet we know from past experience that carpool time will significantly reduce as people become more familiar with procedures and plan accordingly. We appreciate your patience in advance!
KEY CHANGES FROM LAST YEAR:
- During morning drop-off we are encouraging you to use the carpool line instead of escorting your child into the building - it is safer and more efficient. The first week of school we realize that more parents will escort their young children, but we ask that you then try the carpool line.
- During morning drop-off we are moving bus traffic to the back of the building away from car traffic.
- In the afternoon, all elementary students (and their middle school siblings) will be dismissed from the cafeteria rear exit [instead of the gym]. Tip: you will save time and move through carpool quicker by arriving after 3:10 PM.
Again, let's remind ourselves of the Mutual Respect norm at Amana and demonstrate patience as we implement these new procedures.
Thank you!
