Pick Up and Drop Off Policy

The following parking and drop off/pick up regulations were established to ensure safety for all students, parents, and faculty at ADCCA as well to provide organized procedures during the busiest times of the day. Doors to our facility will remain locked at all times for safety purposes.

Morning Drop Off

At the beginning of the school day, the headmaster or a teacher will be greeting students and parents at Door 6 located by the playground between 8:15 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. for K-6 and Pre-K between 12:15 p.m. and 12:20 p.m. Students will be expected to proceed directly to their classrooms. Parents may drop off their child in the foyer of Door 6, but may not enter the hallway. Once Door 6 is locked, parents must gain access through the main church door. No students will be allowed in the building before 8:15 a.m. for K-6 and 12:15 p.m. for PreK.

Pick Up

Parents are expected to wait for their student in their car at the Door 6 location when the class is dismissed.  Pick up from Door 6 is to be no later than 3:25 p.m. If you need to buckle your child in a car seat or if you need to talk to a teacher, please pull into the designated parking spots so as not to hold up the line. Cars will line up near Door 6 and students will be released to their car by a teacher or staff member. Alternative rides set up by the guardians must be given in writing before dismissal. If the school does not receive an email, note, or phone call from the parent informing the school of alternative transportation, students will only be allowed to leave with an approved adult.

Student Check-Out

Students may NOT be taken from the school or playground unless parents have signed them out from their classroom teacher.  A student will not be released to someone other than a legal parent or guardian without notification from a legal parent or guardian.

Weather and Emergency

ADCCA will alert families to school closure, or delays due to snow by 6:00 a.m. via text, email, Facebook, and local media (WJFW). If no announcement is made by 6:00 a.m., it is a regular school day. 

Our snow policy calls for the headmaster to monitor the weather during times of heavy snow. We will be looking at how the weather affects the safety of our families traveling to school. We encourage our families to use their own judgment as to whether or not they bring their children to school on inclement weather days. If it is felt that a snow day closing or delay is necessary, a decision will be made by 6:00 a.m. and notifications are made as indicated above.
