Arrival for all students begins at 7:15 am. You may begin dropping off your students in the carline at 7:15. All students arriving before 7:30 will need to be in the cafeteria for monitoring by an adult. *Note: The playground is not open before school hours.

Students will be welcomed in their classrooms beginning at 7:30.

Instruction begins promptly at 7:40am. If you arrive after 7:40 am, park in one of the designated parking spots in the back parking lot and check your child in at the office. Any adults on campus after 7:40 will need to come to the office to get a visitor’s badge.

Important Arrival Times

Car Line

ALL car riders will be dropped off through the car line off of Hunt Trail. Car riders can be dropped off beginning at 7:15.

Treadwell will no longer be a car drop off point.

(Families must not drive their vehicles into the small teacher parking lot during pick-up or drop-off times, unless they have a designated handicapped placard or plate.)

7 of 14

Car Line Rules

Adults must stay inside their vehicles at all times. Please have your child practice getting in their seat and buckling. Please make sure they are able to exit on the right side of your vehicle.�

Stay in line and wait your turn. Please do not go around cars to squeeze into a space. It’s much safer and faster for the line to move all at once than one car and a time.

When exiting the car line, only left turns are allowed towards Great Northern.

Walkers - Parent Drop Offs

Where can we park?

Bullard Dr. or Great Northern near the south fields
A block away from the school and walk from there
Cross the street only at designated crosswalks. Parents, please demonstrate integrity and follow this rule even when you’ve already dropped off your child(ren). Please do not cross through the car line.

Where do we drop off?

Families are not allowed to drop students off at the classroom door. This is a district safety policy for 22-23. Instruction begins at 7:40.
There are “hug zones” at different sections of the school - the ends of the Kinder, PreK, and 3rd/4th grade ramps, by the gym, and at the black top

9 of 14

Arrival Hug Zones

Please help us have a smooth, safe, and productive start to the day by saying goodbye at the designated “Hug Zones” (these are in bright green on the map)
After dropping off your child, all families and campus visitors should leave campus buy 7:40.

Dismissal Guidelines

Specific Guidelines for Dismissal:

Students in grades 3-5 can walk, bike or scoot home alone with written parent permission. Students in grades PK-2 can walk home with an older sibling with permission (older siblings will walk to hug zones for pick up).

Families will not be allowed on campus until the bell rings at 3:10.

Car/bus/van riders and students in after care will be escorted by staff to their dismissal locations.

Students cannot be picked up by car on Treadwell. It is for walkers and bikers only.

11 of 14

Transportation Changes

Families must provide written notification each time there is a change in transportation arrangements. Please email your child’s teacher. Otherwise, your child will be sent home in the regular arrangement (walking, carpool, after school care, etc.)

If you need to change transportation on the same day after the school day has started, you may call the school before 2 PM or as early as possible. Requests after 2pm will not be accepted.

12 of 14

Dismissal Tags

For younger students, a dismissal tag will be applied to their backpacks. Please do not remove the tag! Changes in

dismissal must be communicated to your child’s classroom

teacher and Kim Schneider at 512-414-2082 or kimberly.schneider@austinisd.org as soon as possible.

It is important to maintain consistency in how your child goes home. Although we expect a few delays for the first few weeks, please bear with us because we anticipate being able to fully dismiss all students within 10 minutes once we are in the swing of things. ☺
