THE FRANKLIN ACADEMY CARPOOL PROCEDURES
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures (Franklin Street- K-3)
In order to ensure the safety of our students at all
times, we must adhere to strict
procedures during arrival and
dismissal times.
The process for the arrival of students is as
follows:
School begins at 8:00 a.m. and students may arrive as
early as 7:45 a.m.
Cars are to pull
completely down the carpool
line.
Do NOT stop in front of
each building to drop students
off.
Stop only once in the
line.
We encourage all parents
to help their children learn to
exit the car and enter the
building independently.
Students should be ready
to exit the car upon pulling in
front of either building.
Students start their day
best when they are in class and
ready to learn at 8:00 a.m.
Students who arrive after
8:00 a.m. will need to be
checked in at the office by a
parent/guardian in order to
receive a tardy slip to be
permitted in class.
Students must be dropped off in the carpool line
along Franklin Street in front
of Building I or II. The school requests that parents, siblings and/or family
members not develop the habit of
personally escorting their
children into the school
building.
If a circumstance arises
where it is necessary to escort
your child into the school
building, please be considerate
of others by not parking in the
carpool line.
Parents may park past the
carpool line on Franklin Street
in the morning for this purpose. Building I and II parking lots will be closed during morning
carpool to ensure the safety of
the children entering the
building.
The process for dismissal of students is as follows:
Buildings I and II will dismiss utilizing the
“all-call” system within the
classrooms.
Building I will begin
dismissing at 2:45 p.m. and
Building II will begin
dismissing at 3:00 p.m.
The office will call
carpool numbers and students
will safely exit the building.
The school asks that all
parents/guardians remain outside
of the buildings until 3:15 p.m.
If you need assistance
from the office in either
building, please wait until 3:15
p.m.
At 3:15 p.m. you may

By following these simple procedures, our school will
be able to efficiently and
safely execute the arrival and
dismissal procedures of the
