Updates on Drop-Off and Pick-Ups

  • Dropping off in front of the school is not allowed at any point throughout the day due to DPS safety policies.  This includes stopping and dropping off in the bus lane.  At all times during the school day, even for a late drop off (after 7:50AM), you will need to park in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood and walk your child to the front. 
  • No parking is allowed in the staff parking lots in front of the school or in the alley at any point during the day, even if briefly.
  • If you are more than 10 minutes late to pick up your child three or more times, an attendance meeting will be held to establish a plan and expectations. 

Reminders:

School Hours: 7:40am – 2:40pm.  

Drop Off and Pick Up: We have three locations you can drop off and pick up, please review this map to help provide direction.  

  • Drop-Off: Drop-off can be done on foot/bike from the Alley Gate or Garden Gate, driving drop-offs can be done through the Kiss & Go lane until 7:50 am.  After 7:50, you will need to park and walk with your child to the front.
  • Pick-Up: Pick-up can be done on foot/bike from the Alley Gate or Garden Gate, driving pickups can be done through the Kiss & Go lane until 2:50 pm.  Please let your teacher know if your child will be picked up from Kiss & Go.
  • Parking: No parking is allowed in the bus zone in the front of the school at any time, or school parking lots (in the alley and the front of the school) as every spot is assigned to staff members.  Please do not park in our neighboring businesses as they are all private lots and they will tow.
  • Discovery Link: If you are utilizing before or after school care, you can drop-off and pick-up from the blue door just west of the school’s main entrance.
