Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures

    We need your help to keep the school and your children safe. EVERY child’s safety is important to us. It remains our highest priority to ensure that students enter and exit cars in a safe and organized way. We ask everyone to correctly follow our new pick-up and drop-off procedures. Failure to do so creates chaos, frustration and unsafe conditions. Each family should discuss these new loading and walking procedures. Thank you for your continuing support in making Yacolt Primary a safe and productive environment for all.

General Precautions:

• No arrivals prior to 8:50 A.M.
• DO NOT DROP YOUR CHILD OFF IN THE PARKING LOT
• No honking or signaling to students from your vehicle at any time.
• Use crosswalks to cross streets and loading zone lanes.
• DO NOT drive through or drop students off in the bus loading/unloading zone between the times of 8:50 A.M. to 9:10 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. to 3:50 P.M.

WEEKLY QUOTE

Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War.  It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant.  It means justice.  It means liberty.  It means happiness... Every color means liberty.  Every thread means liberty.  Every star and stripe means liberty.
