Drop Off
Kindergarten through Fifth Grade Families
Students in K-5 may arrive at school starting at 7:45 AM.
OPTION 1-Families will pull into the driveway on Ridge Road and proceed to the top near the school. Please pull all the way to the front of the line on the right side, next to the school. ADULTS PLEASE REMAIN IN THE CAR. Your children will get out of the car on the passenger side and proceed into the school through door #2. If assistance is needed to open the door, the LaPerche staff and student safety patrol will assist. After your child is out of the car, the adult may pull away. Please do not pull around other cars. Please wait until the car in front of you pulls away.
OPTION 2- Families may park in the neighborhood next to LaPerche or in the church parking lot and walk their child over to the front of the school. There is a crossing guard on Limerock Road. The neighborhood has asked that LaPerche families only park on the side of the road closest to the school. When we park on both sides, it makes it very difficult for people to maneuver through the neighborhood. Thank you!
Preschool Families
Preschool students may be dropped at 8:10 AM for AM section or 12:10 PM for PM session. Please park on the right side of the driveway, get your child out of the car and proceed up the sidewalk to the school to door #13. This is the door to the right.
Pick Up
At 2:45 PM the bell will ring. If you are picking your child up, you have the option of parking in the driveway on the right-hand side, parking in the neighborhood on the street closest to the school or parking in the church lot and walking over.
If you park in the neighborhood, you may walk over and get in line to pick up your child or you can email Mrs. Dorsey that you would like your child dismissed to the crossing guard and meet your child there. One of our staff members will escort the students to the crossing guard.
You also have the option of writing an email indicating that your child has permission to walk home alone and we will dismiss your child to the crossing guard or out the front door to proceed home independently.
If you park in the church parking lot, walk over to the front of LaPerche and get into line to pick up your child.

For pick-up, please park on the right side of the driveway and walk to your designated door to pick up your child.
Everyone--Please have your license on you until the staff gets to know you.
The driveway at the end of the day is very congested. Please help us by using the bus, carpooling with other families and keeping the traffic moving even if you have to make a few loops around the driveway. Put on a good song and let the music flow as you circle around.
Everyone is asked to drive slowly in the driveway. There are small children everywhere and we want a safe arrival and dismissal every single day!
