Back to School Night
Thank you to all the students and families that attended our Back to School Night on Thursday, August 14. We had a blast seeing our returning students and welcoming our new students to the Stallion family.
Pick-Up and Drop-Off Routes at Swansea
Drop-Off: If your student rides to school in a car, please use our main entrance parking lot on the east side of the school. Pull up to the blue and yellow cones. Additional signage and orange cones will be outside to define the drop-off zone. Parents are not allowed to drop-off their students outside of the designated area.
We ask that parents remain in their cars and that students exit the vehicle from the passenger side for the safety of our students and the flow of the process. School staff members will be there to assist if needed. For the safety of our students, the bus loop and staff/visitor parking lot are not available for student drop-off or pick-up. If you have business in the school, please park in the staff/visitor parking lot.
When leaving the parking lot, cars may only right turn to reduce traffic. Left turns out of the parking lot are not permitted.
The drop-off time is from 7:50-8:10 a.m. Between 7:50 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. students have two options. They may either walk to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, or wait on the blacktop where teachers will meet them and bring them into their classrooms.
Pick-Up: When picking your student up from school at the end of the day, please follow the same process above. Pull into our main entrance parking lot on the east side of the building and pull all the way up to the blue and yellow cones. Students are only allowed to enter vehicles that are in the designated pick-up zone.
Please display your identification car hang-tag. Parents, please remain in your cars. Students will enter the vehicle from the passenger side.
School staff members will be there to assist as needed. When leaving the parking lot during this time, cars may only right turn to reduce traffic. Left turns out of the parking lot are not permitted.
Please note, ECE students cannot be dropped-off or be picked-up; parents must walk them to their classroom doors on the north side of the building.
