The great part is you don’t have to go to the store.

Important Message from the Clinic

 Parents, please remember when your child is not feeling well it is important to keep them at home. Also, please avoid giving your child fever reducing medication in the morning. If sent home with a fever, students must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.

Important Safety Information

Pick up and Drop off is not permitted in the front parking lot/loop. Use the car loop on the side of the school for drop off and pick up. When picking up your walkers, please do not park in Croton’s parking lots or next door in the business parking lot.

The gates open for pick up in the car loop at 2:15 Monday through Thursday, and 1:00 on Fridays. Be sure to have your car loop tag hanging in your window, otherwise an ID check will be needed. Please do not pull ahead of other cars already lined up.

Please stay in your vehicle during drop off and pick up. Students will be assisted getting in and out of the car by staff and safety patrols if needed. Also, please allow your child to use the passenger side door when getting in and out of the car.

During dismissal from the car loop students will be called from youngest to oldest. The older siblings need to listen for their names and go to their younger sibling’s gate for pickup. Please pull all the way up to an empty space in the fence before stopping.

Please don’t talk or text while in the car loop.
