Please say goodbye to your child there. • The rest of the school year: • Use regular drop off procedures. Also, if you would like to bring your child onto campus in the morning, you will need to sign in at the office.

A Ryan teacher will be waiting for all Kindergarten students and will walk them to their classroom.

Wednesday thru Friday: • Students will be escorted to the courtyard from the bus zone. • The rest of the school year: • Students will walk to the courtyard where supervision will be provided.
Lunch • Please pack your child’s lunch in easy-to-open containers. Your child will only have 20 minutes to eat and if they cannot open the containers they will not have time to finish their meal. • For the first week, we ask that you send a lunch with your child so we may teach them lunch procedures. • https://www.mylunchmoney.com • We would love your help in the lunchroom. Please contact your child’s teacher if you can assist in the cafeteria during lunch time.
Pick up BUS RIDERS • Bus riders will be assigned a color for their bus and a tag will be placed on their backpacks. • A teacher from Ryan will be riding home on each bus the first week to make sure that Kindergarteners get off on the right stop. • If your student will be riding the bus home, please make sure an adult or an older sibling will be at the stop to meet them. Otherwise, the child will not be released from the bus, and will be brought back to school.
