Arrival & Dismissal Protocols
Arrival & Dismissal Protocols
Walking
When driving to Beechwood Knoll, you have the option to drop-off or park
- Many of our families walk to school. All members of the Beechwood Knoll Community must use crosswalks when arriving and leaving the school. Please help your child learn the safe way to cross the street. Our Quincy Police Department crossing guard will assist you at our front intersection both before and after school.
When driving to Beechwood Knoll, you have the option to drop-off or park
- Drop Off:
- Cars that are dropping off students for arrival will pull into the main Beechwood parking lot by the playground. Cars will remain on the right hand side, following the drop off sign to guide you. Families will stop their car completely and students will exit the vehicle on the sidewalk side only. Cars will then continue driving through the right side of the parking lot and loop around to exit on the left hand side. Cars cannot be parked in the drop off area. Cars cannot stop on Fenno Street for drop off.
- Please note, the drop off area is closed during dismissal time due to pick up of our after school programs. Thank you!
- Parking for Arrival and Dismissal:
- Families that would like to park their car to drop off or pick up their child can do so along the neighboring streets of Beechwood Knoll. All City of Quincy parking sign regulations must be followed.
- Please refrain from parking in the parking lot around the playground as this is used for staff as well as the drop off area.
- U-turns are not permitted at any time.
- Arrival: In the event of rain at morning arrival, we will open the main door at 8:10 AM for students to wait inside. Please do not arrive prior to 8:10 AM. We will allow for students to arrive a few minutes after 8:15 AM as we know travel in the rain can also be slower
- Dismissal: There is no change in the event of rain at dismissal.
