Hillpoint Arrival Procedures

• School doors open at 9:00 a.m. Students should not arrive before this time, including waiting by the main entrance. 
• The instructional day begins at 9:25 a.m. Students arriving after 9:25 will be considered tardy. 
• Prior to 9:25 a.m, please do not let students out of your vehicle to walk across the parking lot independently. You are expected to wait in line and drop students off at the curb. 
• Starting at 9:25, parents should plan to park and walk their student to the door to sign a tardy slip. 
• Students exiting the car should do so on the passenger's side, not the driver's side. 
• Students should be able to open their own door; if they are unable, please turn on your flashers so we know to come and assist.
• You may not park in the drop-off line. 
• If you need to access the office or the nurse prior to 9:25, you must park in the parking lot. 

Hillpoint Dismissal Procedures

• Please always have a valid ID each time you come to pick up your child. 
• Please stay in your vehicle at all times and stay in the tagged pick-up line. 
• Please keep tag numbers displayed in/on your windshield visible to the staff.  It is necessary for matching each child to the correct vehicle.
• If replacement tags are needed, please communicate with your child’s teacher.
• Please be on time. Tagged pick-up is from 3:50 - 4:15 pm.  If you come after this time, you must park and come inside to collect your child.
• Early Start and Kindergarten students will not be approved to walk per school division policy. Students must live in the immediate Hillpoint Farms neighborhood in order to walk. 
• Tag Pick-up will begin promptly at 3:50. We are asking parents not to line up prior to 3:30 in the school parking lot.
• Any parent who picks up their child before dismissal must do so by 3:30. At 3:30, any parent picking up their student must join the car line. This is to ensure student safety and smooth building dismissal procedures.
• Please remember that repeatedly picking your child up prior to 3:50 results in lost instructional time. 
• It is strongly recommended by SPS that parents select one primary method of transportation for students to ensure consistency.

Parking Lot and Traffic Safety

• Do not pass cars at the drop-off line.
• All traffic should move in the same direction.
• Do not enter the bus ramp.
• Please enter the parking lot with a right turn from Hillpoint Road only.

Dismissal Changes

• Requests to change your child’s dismissal method must be submitted in writing. Phone requests will not be accepted.
• A signed parent note sent with the student or an email to the office staff and classroom teacher is required.
• The email must include a picture of the front and back of the parent/guardian ID and be sent by 12:00 p.m. to ensure we can accommodate the change.
• If a change must be made after 12:00 p.m, please call the front office to ensure the message is received and shared with the classroom teacher.
