Drop-Off & Pick-Up

Morning Drop-Off (between 7:45-8 am)

Families are encouraged to drop off all K-8 children through the drop-off car line that goes through the parking lot. To access this drop-off location, drive south on Central Street from 34th Street and follow the line of cars to the school staff and volunteers. Keep your child(ren) in the car until an adult opens the car door for the students. Drop-off begins at 7:45 am and will close at 8:00 am. As you leave the school parking lot, please turn right onto Armour Blvd. to keep traffic moving as quickly as possible.

All car riders will enter through the back door for morning drop-off.

We want to be good neighbors to Midtown residents. Please DO NOT block traffic on Broadway at any time. If you need to access the main door on Broadway, please park along the curb just north of school or on other surrounding streets. Please honor all parking regulations, including handicapped parking.

Afternoon Pick-up (3:30 Dismissal on Mon., Tues., Thurs., and Fri., 1:50 Dismissal on Wed.)

Please plan to pick-up your child in the same location each day to ensure that our dismissal process can run smoothly.

For students being picked up in the carpool line, cars should enter in the same manner as drop-off around the back of school on Central Street. You will share your child’s name with a staff member, and our staff members inside the school building will prepare your child for pickup as you follow the car line and approach the back door. As you leave the school parking lot, please turn right onto Armour Blvd. to keep traffic moving as quickly as possible.

For students being picked up as walkers, caregivers should park on surrounding streets and wait near the main door by 3:30 pm (1:50 on Wednesdays). Children will be released to caregivers in this area.

Note: Beginning August 2025, we will use an app to help streamline the dismissal process. All caregivers picking up students need to download and use this app to ensure student safety. Details will be sent home in the weeks prior to the first day of school, and this website will be updated accordingly. Thanks in advance for your patience as we all adjust to this new system.

All students not enrolled in Camp Fire must be picked up no later than 3:45 pm.

For any dismissal changes, please email dismissalchanges@cwckansascity.org at least one hour prior to dismissal.

Camp Fire Pick-up

To pick up your child from the after-school Camp Fire program, please park your car, enter the school from the Broadway entrance, and sign out your child. The Camp Fire staff will notify your child’s teacher that you have arrived and prepare your child for dismissal. Please allow up to 5-7 minutes for your child to pack up and meet you in the lobby.
