Transportation and Dismissal

Mornings at Smith School

All student drop off is on Heffner Street. This is a continuous drop off area only. We ask that you pull up, let your child out, and then pull forward to let the next person drop off their child. After exiting the car, students will walk to their designated entrance doors.

As walkers and parent drop-off students arrive at school, students in Second, Fourth, and Fifth will line up at the 4th/5th grade (Pacer Pavilion) doors on Heffner Street. Students in Kindergarten, First, and Third will line up at the Y-Club doors on Heffner Street.

Any students eating breakfast at school can enter through their respective doors beginning at 8:00 a.m. All other students will enter the school through their respective doors at 8:20 a.m.

In case of inclement weather, students will line up inside the school building.

Bus students:

Buses will drop off students in front of the school on Liberty Street.  They will dismissed from buses at 8:20 a.m. and enter through the front doors.

Afternoons at Smith School

We appreciate your patience and understanding at dismissal time. Please know that safety is our first concern at all times. Please pick up your child on the Heffner Street side of the building (walkers and parent pick-up). We respectfully request that you leave in a timely manner to accommodate other parents. Please refrain from congregating on school grounds. Also, please do not park in the parking lot to pick up your child. This makes it difficult to dismiss students in a safe manner.     

Reminder

Our Smith Bus Zone is located on Liberty Street, and this is also a no parking, stopping or standing zone.

Changes in your child's normal dismissal routine

At all times, we work to ensure the safety of our students. If there is a change in your child's dismissal routine on a given day, please send a written note to the office or contact the school office at (740) 833-1350 prior to 12:00 p.m. If there is no contact with the school regarding the change (ie: no note or phone call), your child will follow their normal dismissal routine.
