Student drop-off/pick-up expectations: Continuation from last school year Drop off: Please DO NOT drop off your students before 8:35 a.m., students will not be allowed into the building until 8:35. A staff member will indicate when it is time for students to leave their cars and enter the building. This year we will continue as we did last school year, beginning at 8:35, students will be allowed to enter OHE and go directly to their classrooms. Parents will not be allowed into the building for drop-offs in the morning.

Pick up: At the end of the school day students will gather in the gym. During the Assessment days or Curriculum Night, you will be asked to fill out a form indicating your last name, teacher, and grade level that will be placed on the passenger side of your car for pick-up if you have not done so already. Staff members will be stationed outside to radio staff in the gym and your student will then come to your car. Parents will not be allowed into the building for after-school pick-up. If your child needs to be picked up during the school day or after school, you will need to come to the vestibule and use the security system to alert the office that you are at school. You will meet your student in the vestibule. Please refrain from getting out of your car and waiting in the area just outside the front door.

If your child is going to be late for school, you may bring the student into the vestibule and use the security system to alert the office that you are at school. An office staff member will either come to the door or use the system for your student to enter the building.

If your child needs to be picked up during the school day or after school, you will need to come to the vestibule and use the security system to alert the office that you are at school. An office staff member use the system to find out who needs to be called to the office to be picked up. You will meet your student in the vestibule. If you need to pick up your child at the end of the day, please do so BEFORE 3 p.m. It is difficult to do so between 3:00 - 3:15 with our end-of-the-day schedule.

Parking lot flow: For those of you new to Oak Hills, we have designed our parking lot to flow in one direction. Yellow lines indicate the prescribed traffic flow. The only entrance into Oak Hills is on the far west side (top of the hill) of the parking lot. Cars should follow the painted lines toward the school. There are 8 designated car stalls along the curb. Please, cars should pull ahead to the most forward stall before stopping. Furthermore, there is only ONE exit in the parking lot which is centrally located. This EXIT ONLY lane is designated with several yellow posts. In addition, the EXIT-ONLY lane is also a RIGHT-TURN ONLY lane. For safety reasons, NO LEFT TURNS are allowed. You may notice another lane next to the RIGHT TURN ONLY exit. This lane is designated for delivery trucks during the school day. Before and after school, this lane is closed to all traffic and will be coned off. If you have time, I suggest visiting Oak Hills prior to the start of school to get familiar with our parking lot flow.
