Kiss and Ride

As schools prepare to open and students get ready to return, parents who drive their children to school are reminded to use the designated Kiss & Ride areas and to observe safety rules.

Please see the aerial map above indicating the designated Kiss and Ride location and buses only entrance. 

  • Our Kiss ‘n Ride entrance is monitored by adults beginning at 7:50 am each morning, entrances to the building open at 7:55 am. 
  • If you are driving your child to school, please plan to arrive at Brookfield no later than 8:05 am.  Your children need time to get to their classrooms to unpack, begin morning work, and prepare for their day.  School officially begins at 8:10 am when the tardy bell rings. 
  • Pull forward as far as possible into the designated Kiss & Ride lane before loading or unloading.
  • In the Kiss & Ride line, stay in a single line.  It is unsafe to pass other cars.
  • Children should enter and exit cars from the passenger side ONLY.
  • PLEASE REMEMBER:  No Left turns INTO or OUT of Kiss ‘n Ride.
  • Cooperate with staff members assigned to the Kiss and Ride area. Staff members are on duty to supervise students’ safe entrance to and exit from the school 
  •  In the afternoon, students will be dismissed at Kiss & Ride by numbers assigned to cars.  Those families using Kiss & Ride for dismissal must complete an application to receive their car hanger and student tags.


                   Thank you for your support in keeping our children safe!
