Morning Drop‑off and Afternoon Dismissal Procedures  The safe arrival and dismissal of our JS students is a priority and can be challenging due to many  factors, such as congestion and weather. Both involve numerous faculty members, both inside and  outside the building, dedicated to supporting the girls to enter and exit the building safely.  Adherence to arrival and dismissal procedures by parents and caregivers is of the utmost  importance.   Drop‑Off  To ensure the safety of all of our community members, parents and caregivers must: drive slowly  and not jump ahead in the drop‑off line unless instructed to do so; stay in their vehicles; have  students exit the vehicle curbside only; have backpacks and school materials easily accessible for a  quick drop‑off; and follow the instructions given by security personnel. These same procedures  apply for pick‑up. If your daughter arrives prior to 8 am, she must go directly to the Before School  Gator Care Program.
