Thank you so much for helping us get our morning drop-off running smoothly! Just a few quick reminders to keep everything moving safely: Drop-off begins at 7:30 AM. Please have your child ready to exit the vehicle on the passenger side when you reach the front of the school. The drop-off zone is between the two telephone poles, and we can fit approximately 9 cars. All cars must unload once inside this zone to keep the line moving. Do not wait to be at the front of the line for your child to exit the vehicle. Once you've dropped off, please stay in line and proceed to exit, turning onto Grove St. Waiting to get closer to the front or exiting the line, and driving around cars, creates backups and safety concerns for both those driving and walking on Mansfield and Grove. If your child needs assistance exiting the vehicle, please park on a surrounding side street and walk your child to our main entrance. We appreciate your help in making sure drop-off is smooth, safe, and efficient! Bartle Rocks!
