IMPORTANT - 2020-2021 Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Dear Parents,

We hope your family is enjoying the end of summer break! With the first day of school less than one week away, we wanted to make you aware of our 2020-2021 arrival & dismissal procedures.

NEW THIS YEAR

Parents will be responsible for making sure students' seat belts are unbuckled at arrival and buckled at dismissal.
Faculty and staff will be present at all arrival locations and will be taking students' temperatures before parents drive away (Kay Circle & Trinity Drive) and before students enter buildings (high school). Any student with a temperature at or over 100.4 will not be allowed to attend school on campus.
Hands will be sanitized before entering school buildings.
Masks must be worn according to the school day's COVID-19 Zone, outlined in our school's reopening plan. Since we are beginning the school year in the Red Zone, masks must be worn at all times.
After students' temperatures are taken and hands are sanitized, students will report directly to their homeroom/first period classrooms.
Faculty and staff will be present at all arrival locations to direct students to their classrooms.

ARRIVAL

1. Students may arrive at St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School as early as 7:30 a.m. There will not be supervision available prior to this time. Our official school start time for students in PK3-12th grades is 8 a.m.

2. Morning carline drop-off operates on Kay Circle, Trinity Drive (NEW) and in our high school parking lot. See Maps!

Families with PK3 students and PK3 students with older siblings should drop off their children by entering the Kay Circle parking lot and turning right at the high school parking lot one-way access street that runs alongside St. Anne Church (located just before you reach the main school office). Faculty and staff will be present under the porte-cochère that connects our school to St. Anne Church.
Families with students in grades PK4-5th grades and grades 6-8 with siblings in grades PK4-5th grades will use our Kay Circle carline. Families with high school students who don't drive and have siblings in grades PK4-8th will also use our Kay Circle carline.
Kay Circle Carline: Travel south on Box Road and turn left onto Kay Circle. You will then turn right into the school/church parking lot. NEW: There will be one line. Please follow directions provided by our faculty and staff once entering the parking lot. You will exit our campus by turning right out of the parking lot onto Kay Circle and left onto Trinity Drive.
NEW: Families with students in grades 6-8 who don't have siblings will use our Trinity Drive carline.
Trinity Drive Carline: To access our Trinity Drive entrance, travel north on Sheffield Drive, turn left on Trinity Drive (a one-way street), and take the first left into our parking lot. There will be one line. Please follow directions provided by our faculty and staff once entering the parking lot. You will exit our campus by turning right out of the parking lot onto Sheffield Drive. You may then choose to turn right or left on Woodland Drive.
High school students without siblings in the Lower and Middle School may enter and leave the high school parking lot via our campus' Box Road entrance near St. Anne Community Outreach, located at 1820 Box Road, or via our high school parking lot entrance along Sheffield Drive.
High school drivers will use the same entrance noted above.
Those high school students who drive their younger siblings to school will use the same entrance, park, and then all students will have their temperatures taken and hands sanitized at high school entry points prior to entering school buildings.
Parents must use carline for arrival; they may not walk students inside.
NEW: If a student arrives on campus after 8 a.m. or when carline is finished, the driver should park near the main school office entrance and call the office (there will be instructional signage present). A designated staff member will come out to the car to complete the screening process.

St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School students in PK4-12th grades may purchase breakfast from SLA Management. Breakfast will be served from 7:30 until 7:50 a.m. in the Lower School Cafeteria each day and will cost $2.00 (includes juice or milk). Students wishing to purchase breakfast should report to the Lower School Cafeteria after arriving on campus. PK3 students may opt to bring breakfast from home.

DISMISSAL

To ensure social distancing, on regular dismissal days PK3 students without siblings will dismiss at 2:45 p.m. (updated time); and PK4-5th grade students without siblings will dismiss at 2:50 p.m. All others will dismiss at 3 p.m. Families with students dismissing at 3 p.m. may not begin lining up until 3 p.m. If they do, they will be asked to go to the end of the line. On Noon dismissal days, the dismissal time for PK3 students without siblings is 11:45 a.m., PK4-5th grade students without siblings will dismiss at 11:50 a.m.; and all others will dismiss at Noon.

Locations - Lots of New Information

See Maps!

1. PK3 students without siblings will dismiss at Kay Circle under the porte-cochère that connects our school to St. Anne Church at 2:45 p.m.

2. PK4-5th graders without siblings will dismiss in carline at Kay Circle at 2:50 p.m.

3. PK3-5th graders with siblings (if high school student doesn't drive) will dismiss in carline at Kay Circle at 3 p.m.

4. Students in grades 6-8 without siblings will dismiss at Trinity Drive at 3 p.m.

Carline hang tags with students’ last name should be on display throughout Kay Circle and Trinity Drive carlines at dismissal. Car tags for students who dismiss at 2:45 p.m. (PK3 without siblings) or 2:50 p.m. (PK4-5th grade without siblings) will have a dot to indicate early dismissal. Two tags will be provided to new families. As communicated this summer, returning families should use their tags from the 2019-2020 school year; additional tags may be purchased here.

Parents will be responsible for buckling their students' seat belt if the child can't do it themselves. We will have a clearly marked Buckle Zone at our Kay Circle dismissal where parents may pull aside and stop, out of the way of dismissal, to help their students put on seat belts.

5. High school students who drive and have younger siblings in grades PK3-5th grades will go to their siblings' classroom doors after dismissal and walk their sibling(s) to the high school parking lot to leave. Students in grades 6-8 with older siblings in the high school will be picked up by the high school driver at the end of Deimel Hall near the interior steps that connect our middle school to our high school.

High school dismissal will require entrance/exit via our campus' Box Road entrance near St. Anne Community Outreach, located at 1820 Box Road. The high school gate along Sheffield Drive is not a point of entry or exit at dismissal.

We appreciate you taking time to review these arrival/dismissal procedures. Please expect delays the first several days as we adjust to the updated traffic patterns. We are grateful for your patience!
