Drop Off/Pick-Up Procedures

• Use the Kiss and Ride line for Morning Drop Off/Afternoon Pick-up
• This is a drop off/pick-up only zone. Do not exit your vehicle in this zone.
• Drive forward all the way to the end of loading/unloading zone or to the car parked in front of you.
• Make sure your children have their things prepared in advance for unloading. This will help us to speed up the process.
• As soon as you are stopped and are between LOADING/UNLOADING ZONE signs, quickly load/unload students.
• Do not use the front parking lot for dropping off students. This is not zoned for unloading students.

Walk In

Park in the parking lot if you want to walk your child into the school. Do not leave children less than 12 years of age unattended in your vehicle.

Rainy Day Dismissal

We will use the rainy day dismissal plan on days when it is pouring, and/or there is thunder and lightning. If there is lightning, no students will be allowed to walk or ride their bike home. The decision will be made at 2:45p.m. based on the weather conditions at Kessler Elementary at that time. 
Our procedure will be as follows:

• All car riders will dismiss to the gym as normal. All bus riders will dismiss as normal. Please do not exit your car and come into the building to pick up your child. We will try to expedite the departure of our students and need to ensure each child's safety. Please make sure your car rider sign is clearly displayed, so we may call your child(ren) as quickly as possible.
