school day begins at 9:15 AM. Students may arrive on campus between 8:45
AM and 9:15 AM. Students arriving in classrooms
after 9:15 AM should report to the office and will be marked tardy. (Exception:

the classroom ready for the day at 9:15 AM. Please remember that parents
walking children to classrooms in the mornings must have nametags.
Students transported by bus will depart buses from the bus loop into the
cafeteria. Bus riders may eat breakfast upon arrival or may go directly
to their classrooms.
Students may be dropped off after 8:45 a.m. Students arriving before
this time must remain in cars with parents until 8:45. Parents bringing
children
should remain in their cars, moving around the circle in front of the
school. Students may exit car doors toward the sidewalk only. It is the
parents’ responsibility
to ensure safe departure to the sidewalk. Students that need childcare
prior to 8:45 a.m. may enroll in the Early Morning Program. From 7:00
a.m. to 8:45 a.m., students attending Early Morning Daycare will be dropped
off in the bus loop and enter through the cafeteria.
Early Arrival Program/After School Program
We offer before
and after-school care staffed by teachers and teacher assistants from
Forestville Road. In accordance to WCPSS best practices, our
Before and After-School Programs provide a safe, stimulating environment.
Only students who attend Forestville Road Elementary School are eligible
to enroll in either of these programs.
The Before-School Program begins
at 7 a.m. and ends at 8:45 a.m. If
school is delayed due to inclement weather, the start of the Early Arrival
Program will be delayed by the same amount of time.
The
After-School Program begins immediately after dismissal and ends at 6 p.m.
If school is closed early, the After-School
Program will begin immediately following dismissal, weather permitting.

in either program. Applications for both programs are available
in the office. You
may register your child for the Early Arrivals Program during Meet the
Teacher or on the first day of school.Monthly

rides in the parking lot. Picking up students prior to dismissal to avoid
waiting in the carpool line is not permitted.Parents should not wait outside

Students are dismissed to buses in the afternoon as each bus arrives
on campus. Bus arrivals are announced on classroom televisions, and students
are dismissed
directly from the classrooms. Buses depart the school between 3:45 and 4:15
PM. After 4:15 PM, buses are considered late. Information concerning late
bus departure will be communicated on the school’s voicemail (telephone
