Staff will supervise drop off at the rear circle of the building starting at 7:27 a.m. until 7:40 a.m. For the safety of all, please do not ever drop off your child if there is no adult outside. After 7:40, please park your car and walk your child to the door. Ring the bell and Ms. McEvoy-Duane or Ms. Martino will buzz you in. Parents do not need to accompany their child into the building. Thank you for your cooperation.

When dropping off your child in the morning, please enter the Alden parking lot from Alden Street and continue straight past Duxbury Free Library on your right. Continue to drive around the back of the building and pull into the circle marked with a stone sign that says Alden School/Performing Arts Center. Always pull as far up as possible to the car in front of you. Please do not stop so that your child has a minimally shorter walk to the front door. Students should exit the car from the back seats on the driver’s side, closest to the sidewalk. If students must exit cars from the passenger side, cross IN FRONT of your car, and onto the sidewalks around the circle and into the building.

When possible, instruments and other large items should be carried from the back seats by students as they exit cars. Parents are discouraged from exiting their cars to open trunks and retrieve items as it significantly slows the process of drop off.

In short, adults dropping off - PLEASE DO:

Drop off at circle in back of building
Drop off starting at 7:27am
Pull all the way up in the line so as many cars can drop off at once as possible
Have your child exit from rear seats on the driver’s side

Adults dropping off - PLEASE DO NOT:

Exit cars yourself in the drop off line
Stop your car without pulling up as far as possible in the circle
Let children exit your car before pulling INTO the circle
Pull into a parking spot and let your child run across the driveway to avoid the drop off line
