RBS Drop-Off and Dismissal Procedures

Morning Drop-Off:
When transporting your child to Riddle Brook School between 7:30 a.m. and 7:50 a.m., you will drop-off in the oval at the rear entrance of the school. A duty teacher is available to supervise children at the drop off area beginning at 7:30 a.m. From 7:50 a.m - 8:00 a.m., you will drop off at the playground/main entrance. We recommend arriving by 7:50 as often as possible as traffic can get backed up at the front of the school. If the children arrive late to their rooms (due to traffic) they will still be marked tardy. The academic day begins at 8:00 AM. If you arrive after 8:00 AM, you must park in Visitor Parking and accompany your child to the office to sign a clipboard noting his/her tardiness. Your child will receive a pass from the office to be given to his/her teacher.

In order to avoid traffic back up and being marked tardy, the best course of action is to take the bus or arrive at 7:30 AM.

Afternoon Parent Pick-Up:

PM Buses (Start of School Year)
Typically, for the 1st week and a half or so of school, we call Kindergarten and 1st grade students to line up for their afternoon buses prior to the older students. Consequently, it delays the departure of buses about 10-15 minutes. However, it's worth it in the end as it provides the little ones with a better sense of security and understanding during this hectic time of the day. We appreciate your understanding and patience with this!

Dismissal Information & Identification
When providing dismissal information (i.e. who will be picking up your child(ren) from school), please use proper names instead of grandmother, nanny, neighbor, friend, etc. Staff members doing parent pick-up duty may need to ask for ID for those people they don't know, and therefore need a name to go with the ID. Please be patient with staff members at the start of the year as they get to know parents/care takers.
