Arrival & Departure Procedures for the 2026-27 School Year 🚌🚗

Families, thank you for your partnership in keeping our students safe! As we begin the new school year, we want to make sure everyone is familiar with our arrival and departure procedures.

We've created a detailed map and guide showing where students will enter and exit the building based on how they arrive at school, along with the systems our staff uses to ensure every child gets home safely.

Please take a few minutes to review the document linked below—it's important that all families are familiar with these procedures. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to call the Rolling Green office. We're here to help!

Thank you for your attention to this important information. Together, we'll make this a safe and successful school year! 💚
