Sunrise Beach School Drop-Off & Pickup Guidelines

At Sunrise Beach School, the safety of our students is our top priority.

To ensure a secure and smooth process for student arrivals and departures, we have implemented the following Drop-Off and Pickup Policies.

We ask that all parents, guardians, and authorized individuals follow these guidelines carefully.

Drop-Off Procedure

  1. Designated Entrance
  • All student drop-offs must occur through the main school entrance only.
  • Drop-off through the church or gym entrances is strictly prohibited.
  1. Drop-Off Times
  • Monday-Friday: 8:30 am – 3:30 PM. Pre and After Care is available.
  • Students should arrive on time to ensure a smooth transition into the school day.
  1. Supervision & Escort
  • School staff will be stationed at the main entrance to supervise and assist students as they arrive.
  • Doors will lock at 9:05 am.
  • Parents may not enter the school beyond the designated drop-off area unless they have a scheduled appointment.
  1. Late Arrivals
  • If a student arrives after the designated drop-off time (as late as 9:05 am), parents must check in at the front office before the student is admitted to class.

Pickup Procedure

  1. One-In, One-Out Policy
  • Each student must be picked up by an authorized and known individual who is listed on the student’s paperwork.
  • The student will not be released to anyone not listed as an authorized pickup.
  1. Authorized Pickup Identification
  • Authorized individuals must be prepared to show valid identification when picking up a student.
  • If the staff is unfamiliar with the individual picking up the child, they will verify identity using school records before releasing the student.

  • All student pickups must occur through the main school entrance.
  • The church and gym entrances may not be used for student pickups.
  1. Pickup Times
  • Regular Dismissal: 3:30 pm
  • Early Release Days: 11:30 am unless otherwise noted (please check the School Calendar for confirmation of times for a specific date.)
  1. Late Pickups
  • Pickup occurs from 3:30 pm to 3:45 pm daily, unless otherwise noted.
  • Students who are not picked up by the designated time will be taken to the school office for supervision.
  • Parents or guardians must call the school office if they anticipate being late.

Temporary Changes to Pickup Authorization

  • If there is a temporary change to who will be picking up a student, parents/guardians must:
  1. Provide written notice to the school office before 12:00 PM on the day of the change.
  2. Ensure the alternate pickup individual is listed on the student’s file or is given one-time authorization in the written notice.
  3. The alternate pickup individual must show valid identification at pickup.
  • Verbal authorizations will not be accepted.

Temporary Policy Adjustments & Emergency Changes

  • If there is any temporary change to these policies due to special circumstances (e.g., weather events, school events, construction, safety concerns), the school will provide written notice to all parents and guardians.
  • In case of an emergency or unexpected school closure, parents will be notified via email, text message, or phone call regarding changes to the pickup process.
