Arrival and pick-up of students will be in the upper lot. If you choose to bring and pick up your student each day, you will be assigned a number. This number will be the same for all family members who attend Liberty. Only families who have signed up as car riders will be given a number.
If you need to pick up your student at dismissal (and they normally ride the bus), please call the office at (513) 777-6194 or e-mail contactlibertyecs@lakotaonline.com before 3:00 p.m. so they can be put on a daily pick-up list shared with teachers.
Arrival Procedures
Cars may enter the parking lot for arrival starting at 8:45 am. We will not start unloading cars until 8:55 am. We will be using two lanes for arrival. Cars will pull into the lane closest to the school and pull all the way up to the car in front of them. Students should unload from the passenger side. We will only dismiss students once their car has entered the parking lot by the striped walkway. Please stay in your car and have your child ready to unload: backpack together, unbuckled from car seat and hugs and kisses goodbye taken care of when the adult opens the door for them.
Students will walk on the striped pathway to the sidewalk that leads to the back of the school. Please do not allow them to get out of the car until someone opens the door for them. Once a lane has been unloaded and the students are safely out of the walking zone, our school staff will dismiss the lane and the next lane will enter the unloading zone. ALL cars must turn right out of the parking lot.
If you arrive after 9:10, you will need to park and walk your student into the building.
Dismissal Procedures
Cars may enter the parking lot starting at 3:40 p.m. Please do not come earlier, as we will have preSchool families picking up their students until then.
All cars will have a number to display on their dashboard that matches with the students that they are picking up. Every family will get four copies of that number, a number must be in the windshield for us to release the student to that car. If you are doing a car pool or someone else will be picking up your child, you must give them that number, granting them your permission to pick up your child. That is the only way we will release the student to a car.
Cars will pull into the upper parking lot and pull into one of the open lanes, which are marked. Please remain in your cars; students will be brought to you, the car door will be opened by one of our staff members; and students will enter the car. We are not able to fasten car seats, so please start working on this with your child. Adults getting in and out of the car will not be permitted, as it creates a safety concern and slows down the dismissal process.
As a lane of cars is completely loaded, school staff will dismiss that row. Please follow the car in front of you and do NOT change lanes. ALL cars must turn RIGHT out of the parking lot on to Princeton Road.
Half Day Kindergarten
