1. Parent Orientation

2. Welcome to Stanton Elementary!
There are a couple of new happenings on our campus this year and in our school district.
PK - 4th (That changes us a little bit.)
New drop off location (More on that later.)
New middle principal: Abel Avila
New Elementary Counselor: Megan Shafer
Lots of new staff and new faces
We have done a classroom shuffle, so most everyone is in a new spot.

3. Morning Drop Off
The school will not be open until 7:30 each day. Staff is not on duty until that time.. Please do not drop off before 7:30.
All students will come through the east doors by the practice field. Students dropped off between 7:30 & 7:45 will go to the cafeteria. Students dropped off after 7:45 and not wanting to eat in the cafeteria will go directly to the PE gym.
All students will be dismissed to go to the classroom at 7:55.
The first bell rings at 8:05 and the tardy bell rings at 8:10.
Students arriving after 8:10 will be required to go through the front door and check in to receive a tardy slip.

4. New Drop Off Guidelines:
Car Drop-Off
Be Patient
Drive as far forward as possible
If you stop in the drop-off zone, have the student exit the vehicle
Students move away from the vehicle and move to the walk zone
Do not drop off in the parking lot or along the curb beside the parking lot
It is unsafe for your child to walk unattend in the parking lot
Walk-up
Park in the east parking lot by Head-Start
Use the crosswalk and go up the sidewalk
After Friday, parents will not be allowed to enter the back doors. This is for the safety of all our students . If you need to go to the classroom you will have to check-in through the front.
