Drop Off/Pick Up

 

--- ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL ---

Students are welcome on campus at 8:15 am for breakfast. Students should not arrive at school prior to 8:15 a.m. for your child’s safety. No supervision is provided prior to that time. When students arrive at school, they are to go directly to the designated morning area (ex. lunch benches) and remain there until the bell rings. Students are not to wait at the front of the school unsupervised. The first bell will ring at 8:40 a.m.. at which time the teacher will meet students at the benches.  Classes begin at 8:45 a.m.

 

--- STUDENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP ---

If you drive your child to school, be very careful when you drop them off or pick them up.  It is dangerous and against the law to have a child cross the street in the middle of the block.  For upper grade classes that do not have designated student pick up areas, parents should make arrangements for where parents will pick up students after, especially on days of inclement weather.  Please use the following safety practices while driving or walking around school. 

No student is permitted to leave the school at any time during the school hours without permission from the office. When picking up your child during the school day, the parent/guardian must come to the office to check out your child. Please bring proper ID as students will not be released to anyone other than those adults listed on the emergency card with appropriate ID.

  • Pick up students at the teacher/school designated area daily
  • Pick up children in a pre-arranged area away from congestion
  • Pick up children on the school side of the street ONLY.
  • DO NOT park in the bus zone area.
  • Do not park in loading areas only (these areas are designated by {cones, colored curbs etc}
  • DO NOT double park.  
  • DO NOT make U-turns.  It is a dangerous practice on streets bordering the school.
  • Pull as far forward as possible when driving into the parking lot so that as many cars as possible may enter the parking lot.
  • Do Not park in reserved parking spaces
  • When dropping off have your student ready to exit your vehicle with all belongings easily accessible.
  • Only drop off students in the drop off lane
  • Be aware of persons crossing in crosswalks and do not park or stop in a crosswalk

 

--- AFTER SCHOOL ---

Students are to leave the campus immediately following dismissal unless participating in a school-approved function. Primary students are not allowed to wait for their siblings.  No student may play in the park without first going home or on school grounds until the end of the school day for all students. Students are considered to be under the jurisdiction of the school from the time they leave their home in the morning until they return home that afternoon.

 

--BICYCLES, E-BIKES, SKATEBOARDS + SCOOTERS--

Riding bicycles, e-bikes, skateboards and scooters to school is permitted for 4th and 5th graders. Bicycle permits must be signed by a parent and principal and on file in the office. 4th and 5th grade students who wish to ride an e-Bike must complete the online e-bike safety training and have the HBPD authorized safety sticker on their e-bike.  Kindergarten through third grade students may ride a bicycle, e-bike, skateboard, or scooter to school when accompanied by a parent/guardian. 

All bicycles, e-bikes, skateboards and scooters should be individually locked and safety rules must be observed. State law requires all students to wear helmets securely fastened on the head. Students are not allowed to ride on the playground or sidewalk in front of the school before school or during dismissal. Repeated unsafe riding practices (riding double, weaving in/out of traffic, crossing traffic outside of a crosswalk, riding on the wrong side of the road, NOT WEARING A HELMET) will result in bicycle confiscation by the principal. Parents will be asked to pick up bikes and students may lose their riding privileges for the remainder of the trimester.

 

--- BUS TRANSPORTATION ---

Students transported in a school bus shall be under the authority of, and responsible directly to, the driver of the bus. The driver shall be held responsible for the orderly conduct of the students. (5 CCR 14103). To help ensure student safety, Ocean View School District expects students to exhibit appropriate and orderly conduct at all times when using school transportation. Students may be denied the privilege of riding the bus due to disorderly conduct or defiant behavior.
