Arrival and Dismissal

Safety is a top priority when dropping off or picking up students! Parents and staff modeling good, safe behavior is important in teaching our students. Please do not use cell phones while driving on campus. Families with students in kindergarten or higher are encouraged to use the drop off and pick up lane rather than parking and walking in from the parking lot. The parking lot is very busy and it is safer for students to be dropped off and picked up at the curb. 

Promptness is vital. Students need to be in their classrooms and ready for school on time. Late arrivals disrupt the entire class and infringe on everyone’s learning experience. Students arriving after the start time will be marked tardy, and tardies will be reflected on report cards.

Please find specific details regarding arrival and dismissal instructions on the Oakwood Family Portal for the specific procedures for Preschool & Junior Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, and High School, as well as our expectations for Safe and Neighborly driving.
