Students are expected to enter and exit the building in an orderly fashion. High school students, who drive to school, are expected to arrive and leave the campus in a manner that does not pose a safety problem for themselves or others. In the event a faculty member and/or administrator witnesses a student driving in a careless or reckless manner, the student will have his/her driving privileges revoked.
 
K – 12 ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
 
Students are not to be dropped off or arrive at school until 7:20 am. There is no one to supervise students before this time. Arriving at school too early presents a real safety hazard to children.
K – 12 DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL
For those who transport your child, it is important to make every effort to pick up your child by 3:30 pm each day. The teacher on duty cannot leave students unattended, and a teacher should not have to consistently stay longer than the normal bus duty time.
 
K – 12 EMERGENCY DISMISSAL
 
Each family should develop and teach all their children a family plan for emergency dismissal during the day. One child should be designated in each family to call whoever will pick up the children. Elementary school students should know the name and number of who to call or who will call someone for them. If buses are picking up students, the students should know whether to ride the bus or call someone. Parents who work out of town should designate a relative or friend who lives in town to pick up the students in an emergency situation. The students should know the name and phone number of this individual who will take responsibility for them. In case of an emergency dismissal, the school will utilize ParentSquare, contact the local radio station and KVPI is always notified.
 
In stormy weather, all students will remain in the building; therefore, parents must come inside the building to get them. Students who ride the bus will be called when the bus arrives. Parents are asked not to call the school offices to inquire if there will be an early dismissal. Dismissal during the height of a storm would only endanger the students. This common practice ties up school telephone lines and makes it impossible to communicate with public schools, weather information sources and the radio station.
 
In case of fire, bomb threat or some other reason that necessitates evacuating the building, the students will be brought to the high school football and baseball fields and kept away from the building. Emergency information will be broadcast over the local radio station, KVPI.
