Arrival and Dismissal Procedures / Procedimientos de llegada y salida

School hours are 9:25 - 3:55

The safety of our students and staff is our number one priority.  In order to ensure their safety during arrival and dismissal, please adhere to the following map and guidelines.  

We use the following terms to identify how students are dismissed at DRES.  Understanding these terms will create a more efficient dismissal.

  • Car Rider-  A student whose parents use the carloop to pick up or drop off. Parents DO NOT park, get out of their car, or walk up to the school building.  They remain in the car and students are brought to the car by school staff.
  • Walker– A student who walks to or from the school building. If a parent drives to the school, then parks and walks up to the building to retrieve a student, this student is considered a WALKER.  These students will be dismissed out of the front door or side door.
  • Bus Service—We strongly encourage students who live in an area served by bus transportation to ride the bus to and from school.  Please enter your address in the HCPSS school and bus locator to find your assigned stop and bus information.

Arrival

This map shows the traffic patterns for arrival. Walkers will cross at the designated crosswalks. Car riders will be dropped off at the pick up zone on Old Waterloo Road. The buses will be parked in the bus loop. Please do not park on any of the main roads.

Students may begin arriving at Deep Run at 9:05.  Please stay with your children until the school doors open at 9:10.  School staff begin supervising students at 9:05.  Please do not pass other cars in line and drive slow.  Students are tardy after 9:25.  If you arrive after 9:25, please bring your child into the main office.

  • Car Rider-  Parents DO NOT park, get out of their car, or walk up to the school building. If you drive your children to school, use the pick up/ drop off zone shown in the map above.  Cars are not able to enter the bus loop after 9:10. Please remain in the car and students can hop out when you come to a complete stop. Pull up along side the school as far as you can.  Follow staff direction. Staff will be there to assist with any students out of the car.
