Bell Times/Getting To School

School doors open at 7:10am. School starts at 7:30am and the arrival doors will be closed.

Students and adults are expected to wear masks at school. Students will be greeted with hand sanitizer and a mask if any student needs it. Students will get a Grab and Go breakfast and go directly to their classroom. Parents / Guardians will not be able to enter the building. This is for the safety of all. If a child needs assistance getting to class, teachers and other school staff will be available to assist.

• Pre-K / Kindergarten students (and older siblings) will enter through the South doors (19th St) – park on 19th street. Please do not park on Indianapolis between 17th and 19th street as this is for 1st – 5th grade drop off only.
• Parents may walk their Pre-K / Kindergarten students to the door
• 1st – 5th grade will be dropped off and enter through a designated door on Indianapolis

Students arriving after 7:30am will need to be escorted to the front office.

• Children are expected to remain at school until 2:35pm dismissal time.
• Parents/guardians are requested to schedule appointments after the school day to avoid the need for a late arrival or early dismissal. If it becomes necessary for students to be excused from school for a medical appointment or other unavoidable emergency, the parents/guardians must come to the office with valid ID and sign-out the child. Students will only be released to an adult listed on the student’s pick-up list.
• All visitors to the school must be wearing a mask, have their temperature taken and self-assess using the Health Assessment Questionnaire available at the entrance
• Early pick-up should not become a regular practice. Valuable class instruction is missed and students do not get full educational benefits if they leave early.
• Parents may pick-up students prior to 2:25pm. After 3:00pm students will be required to follow regular school dismissal procedures. This minimizes confusion during this hectic time of day.
  Exceptions may be allowed in the case of an emergency.

• Parents must remain in their vehicle and pull through the pick-up lane to pick-up students. This will help keep everyone safe.
• Parents of students who walk home are encouraged to discuss with their children the importance of going directly home or to their designated caregiver after school.
• Unexpected delays in picking up children occasionally occur. Please call the office and let us know the delay.
• TEACHERS ARE NOT ON DUTY TO SUPERVISE CHILDREN AFTER 3:00 PM
• After 2:55pm, the parent or person authorized by the parent to pick-up the child (children) must come into the office upon arrival, so that office staff will know the child has been picked up.
• If a child remains at school beyond 3:15pm, assistance from the TPS Campus Police will be requested.

• 19th Street: Pre-K and Kindergarten and older siblings. Parents will park on 19th street and walk to pick up students. Please do not park on Indianapolis between 17th and 19th street as this is for 1st - 5th grade pick-up only. Parents will be given a color- coded PLACARD for each Pre-K and Kindergarten student - please make sure you have this with you as you pick up your child. We want to make sure that all students are picked up safely.
• Indianapolis: 1st - 5th grades. Students will be picked up on Indianapolis. Each car will have a PLACARD with a number and students will walk out in order of numbers called and staff/safety patrol will open the passenger door for your student.
  • New families to Lanier, we are working diligently to get these to you as soon as possible.
  • Returning Lanier families are encouraged to use their PLACARD from last year
  • If you no longer have your PLACARD, please call the school office or email nowli@tulsaschools.org to request a new one.
