Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up

All students who are being dropped off/picked up by vehicle should be dropped off in front of the school and enter through Door 1. After school pick up of students by vehicle should also take place at Door 1. This area is supervised by multiple staff members before and after school, and the line moves safely and efficiently.

Student Drop Off Reminders:

  • DO NOT drop students off before 8:25 a.m. Beaver Creek staff supervision begins at 8:25 a.m.
  • Door #1 will be locked at 8:40 a.m. Students arriving after 8:40 a.m. will need to sign in at the main office.
  • Vehicles in the queue pull forward for drop off along the right lane of the drive thru. Do not stop in the painted crosswalk or leave big spaces along the curb.
  • Follow the directions of the Beaver Creek employees outside directing traffic and pull ahead when directed to the west end of the school building.
  • The vehicle queue lane is for “drop and go” student drop off. Parents remain in vehicles. The queue must keep moving.
  • Students are to exit the vehicle through the passenger side doors. Students are allowed to exit vehicles along the entire length of the building. 
  • The driver should not exit a vehicle while in the drop off lane, nor should a student exit a vehicle through a driver side door in the drop off lane.
  • If adult assistance is needed for a child to exit the vehicle, park in the main parking. You can help your child get out of the vehicle and walk your child to the crosswalk area in front of the school where a supervisor can assist your student to cross.

Student Pick Up Reminders

  • Parents in line for pick up after school must have their current Beaver Creek vehicle puck up (VPU) number card visible in the front windshield to identify themselves as an approved pick up adult. Parents DO NOT get out the vehicle The VPU card for the 2024/2024 school year is YELLOW. Destroy any previous cards as they are no longer valid.
  • There is NO walk-up “Pick Up” at dismissal. We do not allow parents to wait on the front lawn at dismissal.
  • Students will exit the front drive lane as their Vehicle Pick Up number is projected on the screen in the classroom beginning at 3:30 p.m.
  • Vehicles in the queue pull forward along the right lane of the drive thru lane for pick up. Do not stop in the painted crosswalk or leave big spaces along the curb. The vehicle queue lane is for “pick up and go” student pick up. Parents remain in vehicles. The queue must keep moving.
  • Students enter vehicles curbside. Non-school age car seats should not be curbside.
  • Parents merge out of the queue lane carefully to exit.
  • Students should not be dropped off or picked up by a vehicle along Newgate Drive. Only those students who are walking or biking to school should use the pedestrian bridge and Door 9 to enter and exit the building. Similarly, students should not exit at Door 3 and be picked up along Lyndhurst Drive as it is not supervised and is a high traffic zone.
  • If you need to pick up your student prior to dismissal at any time during the day, we appreciate advance notice so we can make sure your student is ready to dismiss on time.

Bus Drop-Off & Pick-Up

Bus arrival and drop off is now on the east side of the building. Because of the space needed for bus drop off and pick up, there will be no parking in the parking spaces on the east side of the building. Students who are riding the bus will exit on the east side of the building. All bus riders will enter the building through door #15 in the morning. After school, grades Kindergarten, 1 and 2 will exit through their community door to the bus lane. Grades 3, 4 and 5 will exit through door #15. As in years past, at dismissal time, buses will be called over the PA system, and students will be allowed to move to the bus dismissal area.
