Arrival and Dismissal Logistics

Our arrival and dismissal will run the same way that it has in the past. Both arrival and dismissal will happen on our playground.

Arrival

In the mornings, buses will park along Tennessee between Holly and the parking lot entrance. Please do not park here in the mornings as it can cause issues for our buses. Families can pull into the parking lot for Kiss-and-Go (no parking) starting at 7:20am. This is also when you can drop students off on the playground for the day. Please know there is NO SUPERVISION prior to 7:20am. Families are welcome to park along the surrounding streets if they would like to walk their kids to the playground. ECE families are required to park on the street and walk their student to their class door in order to sign them in.

Dismissal

For dismissal, buses pull into the parking lot and the lot is closed off to families for safety reasons. We encourage families to park along the street and walk up to the playground. The space on Tennessee between Holly and the parking lot is open for parent parking in the afternoon. If you would like to make alternate plans for your child to meet you somewhere else for dismissal, you must communicate this with your child’s teacher. All children must be picked up by 2:45pm.

Discovery Link

We understand that you may need support with your child(ren) before or after school hours. At McMeen, we offer Discovery Link, a district run before and after school enrichment program. It runs from 6:30-7:30am and 2:40-6:00pm. You can learn more and sign your child(ren) up here: https://equity.dpsk12.org/extended-learning/discovery-link/school-year-program/

Family-Student Handbook and Compact

We are in the process of finalizing these and will make them available once we have them.
