Student Pick up and Drop Off | |
|
For the safety and security of student’s, we would like to remind our community that students should not be dropped off prior to 7:30am and must be picked up prior to 4:00pm, as we offer no assurances that your child will be supervised outside of these times. More information on this can be found on page 22 of the Student and Family Handbook and reads:
For safety, students are to be dropped off and picked up in the designated area before and after school. Students should not arrive prior to 7:30 a.m. and should be picked up before 4:00 p.m. as CECCR offers no assurances that your student will be supervised outside of these times. Please make arrangements with your student regarding transportation or designate an alternative location for your student to wait should they be dropped off or picked up outside of the times. In an emergency which will result in a late pick-up, please call the school office, 720.439.4300.
Thanks
