Drop-Off & Pickup

Morning drop-off procedures

  1. Drop-off begins at 8:40 a.m. Students cannot be unsupervised and there are no before-school activities, so please be mindful that there is no one to supervise your child before this time. 
  2. Upon entering the parking lot, create a single file line. Staff will direct you when and where to pull forward.
  3. Pull your vehicle as far forward as possible to allow 5-6 vehicles to unload at one time. 
  4. Students should exit vehicles from the passenger side only.
  5. In the morning, you may walk your child to the front door; however, parents/guardians will not be allowed to enter the building. 

Afternoon pickup procedures

At Crest View, we have two options for picking up students. Parent/guardian pickup begins at 3:20 p.m. Please be prompt, as there are no after-school programs at Crest View. If you wish to pick your child(ren) up prior to 2:50 p.m., please park your vehicle in the parking lot, come to the front entry, and call the school office at 763-561-5165. Students will only be released to authorized individuals. Identification may be requested if an individual is unrecognized by staff. 

Option 1: Door 8

  1. If you choose to pick up your child via foot, please park your vehicle in the parking lot and walk to door 8. 
  2. A staff member will be outside to radio for your child(ren) to leave the building and meet you at door 8.
  3. Please escort your child(ren) to your vehicle; students are not allowed to enter the parking lot unsupervised. 

Option 2: Car Line

  1. If you choose to pick your child(ren) up via the car line, you will remain in your vehicle.
  2. When pulling into the Crest View parking lot, please create a single file line, pulling your vehicle as far forward in the line as possible.
  3. Staff members will be in the parking lot to radio for your child(ren) and students will be dismissed from their classroom.
  4. Staff will escort younger students to their vehicle so there is no need to exit your car.
  5. Students will enter the vehicle from the passenger side only.
  6. If you need to help with buckling your child in or putting them into a car seat, please allow the student to enter the vehicle and proceed to pull out of the line and into a parking space. Once in a parking space, you may exit your vehicle to help safely secure your child in the vehicle.
