GDE Traffic Patterns

As we near the first day of school, I wanted to take a moment to update GDE parents/guardians on some recent changes we have made to our drop-off/pick-up procedures. As you know, the safety of our students is our top priority. To ensure that all students are safe and supervised at all times, we have made the following changes:

  • K-2 Morning Drop-off- 7:30-7:55 A.M. 

  • Preschool Morning Drop-off- 7:45-8:00 A.M

  • K-2 Afternoon Pick-up- 3:07-3:30 P.M.

  • Preschool Afternoon Pick-up- 2:45-3:00 P.M.

ALL K-2 STUDENTS MUST BE DROPPED-OFF AND PICKED-UP IN THE K-2 CAR LINE. K-2 STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE DROPPED-OFF OR PICKED-UP IN THE PRESCHOOL CAR LINE.

A suggestion to make this work could be: 

  • Drop K-2 students off in the morning at/around 7:45 A.M. then loop around to the preschool line and drop off pk students.

  • Pick-up preschool students in the afternoon at/around 2:45 P.M. then loop around and enter the K-2 car line.

Please allow extra time the first few days of school. Our Teachers, Staff, and School Resource Officers will be working hard to ensure both lines are moving efficiently. 

It is going to be a great year at GDE!
