Drop Off & Pick Up Instructions
For Pre-K arrival and dismissal, you will need to park in a designated parking spot and walk in to sign your child in or out of the classroom. The first row of parking spaces in the JFWA Parking Lot are designated for Pre-K pick up/drop off.
The door to the Pre-K classroom will be locked, so if you must drop off or pick up at times other than the set arrival/dismissal time, you will need to be buzzed in. Please be sure to bring your ID to pick up your child.
Drop Off is from 7:30 AM - 8:00 AM
Pick Up (for those not in after school*) is from 2:25 PM- 2:45 PM.
*Students who are registered for after school programming are taken by the Pre-K staff down to the Lower School. Parents/guardians will pick their student(s) up at the Lower School circle drive between 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM.
