ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Our number one goal is for arrival and dismissal to be both safe and quick for all families. Car lines will flow smoothly and quickly when these procedures are followed.

Please:
1. Always turn RIGHT when entering and leaving the parking lots and circles
2. Pull all the way up to allow as many families as possible to drop off/pick up
3. Have your child exit and enter the car on the passenger side
4. Avoid parking on side streets whenever possible
5. Do not block cross streets, driveways, or fire hydrants
6. Never walk through the car lines during arrival or dismissal

This year, the school will be using the Concierge Pad app to aid in arrival and dismissal procedures. Each family will be assigned a number and will be issued two tags with that number. The tag should be hooked onto the rearview mirror for easy visibility by Trinity Faculty and Staff. Only Trinity Faculty and Staff will use the app. For dismissal, students will not leave their classrooms until their family car has arrived. When the family car arrives at the designated pick-up spot, a Trinity Faculty or Staff member will input the family number into the app, which will then notify the Homeroom teacher/s to release the students to their dismissal location. Faculty and staff will be placed throughout the campus to ensure students are supervised as they travel to their designated dismissal location.

ARRIVAL
ALL STUDENTS
• All Pre K3 - 8th grade students may arrive on campus at 7:30 a.m.

• Students may not enter the campus without checking in with a staff member and having their temperature checked. In addition, health screening questions may be asked. If a student has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or above, they will not be permitted to attend school. To return to school, students must be fever free (without medication), for at least 24 hours. If you think the temperature reading is not accurate, park and proceed to the front office to request the School Nurse, Kierstan Greif, RN to assess your child. TARDY: Parents must escort students to the office for a late pass after 8:00 AM. The health screening will then take place in the front office before your child will be permitted to proceed to class.

DISMISSAL
Please help us provide a safe environment for our Trinity family by following these safety procedures while collecting your children at dismissal:
• Check to see that ALL your passengers are secured with seat belts or in the appropriate child car seat. It is the law! It only takes a second for a dangerous accident to occur.
• Please do not have car doors open while your vehicle is moving. If a child fell out of the vehicle, it might be too late for you or others to stop.
• Use of cell phones and participating in other distracting activities while driving can lead to a dangerous environment for our precious Trinity cargo. Please give your full attention to driving safely.
• Please remember that the designated dismissal spots are intended for cars only. Pedestrians should not be crossing car lines, and parents should have their children “in hand” while proceeding near these areas.

All students must be picked up on the black top. In the event that you have not picked up your child by the 10-minute leeway, your child will be admitted to Beyond the Bell and you will be charged.
