Park Brook’s new pick-up procedures

The pick-up procedures at dismissal are now different from in past years. These changes will make it safer for kids, avoid congestion in the parking lot and accommodate a third large school bus. New pick-up details include: 

- In the main parking lot, pick-up and drop-off on the right side as you enter the parking lot. Do NOT use the left side as you enter the parking lot to drop off/pick-up your kids.
- The green "Type III Pick Up" is only for vans/vehicles contracted by the school district to drop off and pick up students.
- Along Hampshire Ave. N., on the east side of the building (grade 3-5 playground side), the entire length can be used to pick up students at the end of the day.
- Please do not pick up your children across from Hartkopf Park parking lot. If the space is open, it is much easier for the patrols and for kids to cross to Hartkopf Park.

Where Can I Pick-Up my Child After School?

• Along Hampshire Ave. N. on the East Side of the building. (Next to the 3rd/4th/5th Playground)
• In the Hartkopf Park parking lot.
• In the main parking lot, on the right side as you enter, or in one of the parking spaces.
• 74th 1/2 Ave. N., Janell Ave. N., 74th Ave. N. Circle (see picture)
• Use the new sidewalks and walk to pick up your child. Good exercise for all, and a great way to have wonderful conversations with your child to/from school!

At 3:20 pm, the parking lot is packed full of cars and there is no space. Students walk out of their classrooms at 3:20 p.m.; if you wait to arrive until 3:25 p.m., it is much easier for you as a driver, and the students are only waiting a couple of minutes.

Thank you for your help to make pick-up time a safe and smooth process at Park Brook Elementary School!
