School Schedule & Attendance Policy

Drop-off and Pick-up Policy:

• Children can be dropped off only starting at 7:40 am. Children are not allowed on campus before that. Please follow the drop-off traffic pattern for your child.

• Please, do not drop your child off in the fire lane in front of the school. Not only does it increase the possibility of a collision, but it violates fire code. If you stop in the fire lane during drop off, you will be asked to move along to the parking lot.

• Our doors open for drop off at 7:45 am and students will go directly to their classroom. All classes start at 8:00 am and if students are not at their desks and ready to learn, they will be considered tardy.

• Children will be available for pick-up at 3:15 pm. The pick-up area is north of the modulars. Please use the below traffic flow below.  Students will remain behind the fence and be released by teachers as parents arrive.  If you are parking and walking in to pick up your child, please enter through the east gate and walk to the pick up area.  Parents of Kindergarten students can enter through the Kinder gate to sign their Kindergarten students in and out.

• Any children not picked up by 3:45 pm, unless you have made prior arrangements with the teacher or the office, will be taken to the office.

• If pick up does not occur by 4:00 p.m., Child Protective Services will be called, who will pick up the child.

JRCS Traffic Flow for Drop-off and Pick-up:

We ask that every family respect our requirement that students attend school daily and are absent only when absolutely necessary. A high absentee level creates serious difficulties for students and for the school. Parents are asked to schedule routine medical and dental appointments after school hours and to schedule vacations during school breaks.

If your child is going to be absent, due to illness, physician’s appointment or other reasons, please notify the school by 8:00 am in one of two easy ways:

1. Call the front desk at 986-8219, ext. 111 or
2. Email the front desk at [email protected]

Parents should include their name, their child’s name and the reason for the tardy/absence. Parents are asked to call the office each day their child is absent even if the absence is on consecutive days. Parents are also asked to inform their child’s classroom teacher of any circumstances at home that might affect the child’s attendance or performance in school.
