Arrival Procedures
Walkers/Bikers (please lock your bikes!) arrive at school between 7:45-8:00am. Once students arrive in the yard, they are to enter the school through their designated door . A door attendant will sanitize their hands upon entry. If there is a lineup at the door, students will stand on a dot on the pavement near the door as instructed by the attendant. Once inside the school, there will be ample staff guiding students towards their homeroom. It would be helpful if they can remember their homeroom teacher’s name, however, if they forget, we will be there to help them out.
Students arriving by bus will be guided into the school by the duty staff and will enter via the main entrance (see map: Bussers Entrance). Please check the OSTA website on a regular basis for bus delays or cancellations:
