Arrival and Dismissal

Dear Families:

The safety of the students is always a top priority at Allendale Elementary. In light of the recent school tragedies across the United States, I wanted to share some reminders about school procedures.

The West Seneca School District requires picture identification for entry into all school buildings, so please have your identification with you and ready to be shown to the camera before entering the building.

 Arrival:

• Please be advised, there is no supervision prior to our 8:30am start time. Parent Drop off door between 8:30am - 8:40am
• After 8:40am students must be brought into the building and signed in by a parent or guardian-students cannot be dropped off at the door.
• If you need to park to assist your child or bring in items, please do not park in the reserved spaces or handicapped parking spaces (this includes the blue striped lines next to the handicapped parking spaces) unless you are a user of a handicap permit. (including before/after school pick-ups)
• The apron in the front of the building is for handicap accessibility and should never be blocked. (including before/after school pick-ups)
• The bus loop is for buses only during arrival and dismissal.

 Dismissal:

• Our student dismissal time is 3:00pm.
• Parent pickup will start 5 minutes prior to dismissal time including half days.
• Early dismissals must be requested by note or phone call early in the day.

We appreciate your cooperation with honoring our arrival and dismissal procedures. Please review the above items with your family members who may be visiting, in order to ensure your children safely enter our school each morning and leave every afternoon.

Thank you, again for always supporting our students, staff and the Allendale Elementary school community.
