Students should not be dropped off prior to 8:00 in the morning as there is no supervision before this time. The front of the school is the only designated safe drop off and pick up site for Northwood students. Any other location is not considered safe and is unsupervised. The parents who are late picking up their students on multiple occasions may be referred to IUSD’s Student Services Dept. and/or the Irvine Police Dept.
Students are to be picked up no later than ten minutes following dismissal time. Students are expected to leave campus immediately after dismissal. Please adhere to this policy for your child’s safety since there is no supervision beyond this time. Please meet your child in front of the school at dismissal time rather than classroom hallways or the playground area. Meeting in the building is distracting to other classes still in session and limits the physical space available for students to secure their belongings and be dismissed in an orderly fashion.
If you need to pick up your child prior to the regular dismissal time you must come to the office to sign your child out of school. NO CHILD IS PERMITTED TO LEAVE CAMPUS WITHOUT YOUR SIGNED PERMISSION OR THAT OF AN AUTHORIZED ADULT OF YOUR CHOOSING. Any adult who signs a child out must be listed on the child’s emergency card and at least 18 years of age.
