The drop off/pickup will take place via your vehicle in the student drop-off/pick-up zone of Ardmore Elementary.  All drop off/pickup will be done from the trunk of your vehicle. No one should get out of their car.

No lost and found items will be available for pick up because of social distancing and health guidelines.

STEP 1 – Prepare to Leave for the School

      Book room and Reading books
    • Library books
    • Laptops and hot spots if you are not participating in summer learning opportunities (include all chargers, cords and cases)
    • Musical instruments – recorders for 4th grade and instruments for current 5th

STEP 2 – Drop Off/Pick Up Protocol:

  3. Stop 1 – Pull up to the STOP sign. A greeter will read your student name and radio to the building for student materials. The greeter will then direct you to the next stop.
  4. Stop 2 – Drive to Stop 2. Pop or unlock your trunk so staff can access the trunk of your car. Staff will remove the items to be returned and place them in carts. A check off receipt will be left the trunk as evidence for what you have returned everything – Library Books, Bookroom Books, Music Instruments, Computers (case, charger, device, hotspot (if you have one), hotspot power cord).
