Pick-up

After school parents/guardians/caregivers of TK, kindergarten and first graders may go to the classroom to pick up their children.

Second through fifth graders’ parents should meet their children on the yard. There is no adult supervision in Yard A, the playground with the Lincoln gates, Lincoln Square Park, or the area adjacent to the soccer field after dismissal at 2:45pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 1:15pm on Wednesday. For safety reasons, it is important that parents make arrangements for their children to be picked up in a timely manner when school is dismissed.
