Before and After School Care

Arrival and Dismissal Traffic Flow

It is imperative that you follow the arrival and dismissal procedures. This traffic flow procedure was developed in conjunction with the Tinley Park Police Department and they will patrol periodically to enforce all traffic laws to help ensure student safety.  

• Car riders and walkers will enter through the door that is assigned based on last name: letters A-K will enter the front door, letters L-Z will enter the back door. Please respect this plan. There will continue to be a right-hand turn only when leaving the front and back parking lot.
• If you are driving with a family who does not have the same assigned door, pick a door and let the teacher know. Use the same door consistently.
• Bus riders and daycare will enter through the back doors.
• Only staff and students will be permitted in the building. Visitors should ring the bell at the front door.
• Students will go directly to their classroom.
• At dismissal, please exit your car and meet your student on the sidewalk.
• Right turn only in the back parking both before and after school. Right turn only in the morning in the front parking lot.

Dismissal Procedures

Bus riders and students attending Ivy League begin dismissal at 2:15 p.m.  Please remember that any change in your child’s regular transportation requires a note to the teacher and a phone call to the office.  Please notify the office of any changes to transportation prior to 1:45 p.m. Notifications must come through the office. Please refrain from notifying individual teachers during the school day.  We will do our best to accommodate requests received after 1:45 p.m.
