Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

One of the most important things we do at Spring Hill is to ensure the safety of students, families, and staff during arrival and dismissal.  Below are the procedures for our school community. Please make sure to read them carefully and follow established routes for the safety of all!

During arrival and dismissal, the entrance to the bus lanes in the front of the school and the parking lot to the left of the school (by the stop light) are closed to ensure the safety of our students. 

It’s important to note that Kiss & Ride takes time. Plan thoughtfully and arrive in a timely manner to ensure your child arrives at school to begin his/her school day on time. The Kiss & Ride procedures are as follows:

Kiss and Ride arrival instructions

Enter the Kiss & Ride lane from Lewinsville Road. Loop around the school’s parking lot and follow the directions of staff. You will be directed to pull forward and a staff member will open the door for your child when it’s time to be released from the car. Your child should be seated on the passenger side of the car as they will exit from the right side only. Parents must stay in their vehicles at all times. Kiss & Ride cars will exit right onto Lewinsville Road.

Kiss and Ride dismissal instructions

Enter the Kiss & Ride lane from Lewinsville Road and loop around the school’s parking lot and follow the directions from staff. You will be directed to pull forward. Please have displayed your kiss and ride number on the passenger side front window. A staff member will call your child(ren). Students will then enter the vehicle from the passenger side of the car.

Kiss & Ride will use last names and are given to every family regardless of whether it is used or not. Car Tags were given out during Open House and will be sent home to those families who were unable to attend. 

Please remember to not pass cars in the Kiss & Ride lane.
