Student Drop Off and Pick Up

Drop Off/ Morning Arrival (7:30 am-8:00 am)

To facilitate this process, please follow these procedures:

 

1. Please be mindful of traffic flow, walking students, and keep your speed to 5 mph.

2. Continue to the drop-off area. Your vehicle will be greeted by SIA staff. Please keep the drop-off brief.

3. Please do not park or get out of your car; students exit the passenger side of the car.

4. Once your student is dropped off, please continue around the loop and back up the hill to exit.

5. When exiting, turn right only onto Magnesium. This is very important for ensuring the safety and flow of this routine.

6. Good news! N. Dakota St. now connects through to Jay St. You can use this to connect to Nevada.

The orderly arrival and dismissal of students is vital to ensuring that students arrive at, and leave, school safely. We promise to do our best to ensure that the lines move as smoothly as possible, but we need your help in making that happen. SIA will have approximately 850 students accessing our campus daily. Safety is the #1 focus during these windows of time, and we need your help ensuring that students, staff, and other community members remain safe at all times.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off Expectations:

  • Right Turn ONLY out of the Parking Lot - We need all families to follow the right turn only during pick-up/drop-off times to allow traffic to flow in a much more efficient way. We know that it is more convenient for some of you to turn left to go where you need to go. We are asking that you don't do this as it will completely back up the flow.

  • Good News! N. Dakota St. now connects through to Jay St. You can use this to connect to Nevada.

  • Arriving before 3:05 - We know that you all are anxious to get in line to pick up your child(ren). Right now, because so many families arrive very early, we have a stack of cars on Magnesium as early as 2:50. This is simply not safe for you or the other cars traveling on Magnesium. Our staff do an incredible job having all students in cars and gone by 3:30 at the absolute latest. We promise that if you show up around the time school gets out you will be able to get in and out quickly.

  • Secondary Release- Secondary (6-12) students WILL NOT be released for pick up until 3:05 (even if they have younger siblings).

  • Stacking cars on Magnesium - We have spoken with SPD. Pulling to the side of Magnesium to wait in the drop-off/pick-up line is not illegal. We ask that if you are going to wait in line that way, you pull over to the right as far as you can to make it safe for you and the other cars traveling on Magnesium.

  • Follow directions of the staff facilitating the process - Please, exercise patience with our staff and use REACH values as they guide you before and after school. They are there to make this as efficient as possible, and in doing so, may ask you to move your car up a little bit, or to do something else. Please work with us.​

We appreciate your feedback in improving our practices and believe that parents are valuable members of our community. As we work towards achieving the process described above, we would appreciate it if you connect with school staff about the drop-off and pick-up if you observe something that you feel needs our attention. We will work to resolve the issues that arise to the best of our ability.
