Drop-Off and Pickup Times and Protocols
School Start and End Times
Like last year, the school day will begin at 8:15 a.m. daily and end at 3:40 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and 3:15 p.m. Fridays. From November 11, 2022-March 10, 2023, Friday dismissal will be at 2:45 p.m. to accommodate the earlier winter Shabbat start times.
Drop-Off Protocol
Drop-off is at 8 a.m. at the main (south) entrance to the Sabes JCC. Staff will be available both outside and inside the building at this time. Classes will begin promptly at 8:15 a.m. If arriving after 8:15 a.m., you will need to park and walk your child to the school office.
Pickup Protocol
Pickup will be from 3:40-4 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays and from 3:15-3:35 p.m. Fridays. Pickup will be at the back (north) side of the Sabes JCC. Please make sure that the sign with your children's names is clearly displayed on your dashboard in the pickup line. Signs will be handed out at the Heilicher Summer Social and at the parent coffees (see more info below). Returning parents may use their sign from last year.
Heilicher staff will use walkie-talkies to call children down from their classrooms as their parents arrive. Students who are participating in after-school activities or HaBonim will be escorted to their extracurricular programming by school staff.
Communicating Late Drop-Offs or Early Pickups
All known late drop-offs or early pickups should be reported promptly through the Heilicher Communication Center. This reporting portal is critical to keeping our Heilicher faculty and staff informed of student absences.
As noted previously, if you drop your child off after 8:15 a.m., you must park and walk them to the Heilicher office. If you have communicated about an early pickup, your child will wait in the school office at the requested time, and you may walk in and pick them up there. Please note that if you are picking your child up prior to dismissal, we ask that it be at least 30 minutes ahead of the beginning of the dismissal window in order to avoid the dismissal rush.
