Staff supervision of students begins at 7:30 a.m. for running club and breakfast only. For safety reasons, no students are to arrive at school before 7:30 a.m.
Student Drop Off
The parking lot will be closed in the mornings. If you are dropping your child off by car please use the drop off zone on Wandermere. You may park across the street and use the cross walk to walk them in to any of the gates. Please be aware that there is NO parking in our parking lot, even before school or for short periods of time. Each spot is assigned to a school employee who often arrive early to school or possibly have left for lunch.
UTK & Kindergarten: |
Parents may drop off students at the kindergarten gate starting at 7:40am. |
Grades 1-5: |

Walking
Please use the crosswalks walking your children to school. Running across Wandermere is dangerous to everyone concerned.
Bicycles
The San Diego Police Department requests that only students in grades 4 and above ride bicycles to school. Although the school has designated an area for students to park bicycles, the San Diego Unified School District is not responsible for theft, damage, or loss of use to any bicycle, equipment or article left in or around this area. All such risk is assumed by the student.
All bicycles should have locks and licenses. Students are urged to secure their bicycles in an appropriate manner by using a quality lock and chain or other devices.
Helmets are required by California law. Students not wearing helmets may lose the privilege of parking a bike on school grounds. As defined in Vehicle Code Section 21212, any person under 18 years of age must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet when riding a bicycle, scooter, skateboard, or when wearing in-line or roller skates. Helmets must also meet the standards of either the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Dismissal
Students are dismissed promptly at 2:10 p.m. (12:10 pm on Wednesdays) and should leave campus immediately upon dismissal.
Student Pick Up. Please ensure the safety of all students by not parking or stopping in the bus loading area and/or asking your child(ren) to cross the street. The school's main concern is for the health and safety of your children.
Specific dismissal procedures vary by grade level, as indicated below:

Students are dismissed from the kindergarten gate by their teacher upon seeing a responsible adult or older sibling. Older siblings must come to the Kindergarten class to pick up younger siblings. |
