Dear Coxsackie-Athens CSD Parents and Guardians,
As we progress with another school year, I would like to take this opportunity to provide some important reminders regarding student drop-off and pick-up procedures to ensure the safety of all our students and the smooth flow of traffic on campus.
Drop-Off Procedures:
Curbside Drop-Off: If you are dropping off your child by car, please pull up to the curb and have your child exit the vehicle on the curb side for safety.
Walking Your Child to the Door: If you prefer to walk your child to the door, please park in a designated parking space. Do not leave your car unattended at the curb. If you are late, parents/guardians must accompany their child to the school office to sign in.
Coxsackie-Athens High School and Middle School Arrival: For students in grades 5-12, drop-off should take place in front of the District Office or high school. High school students should enter the building through the high school main entrance. Middle school students should enter the middle school through the middle school main entrance.
If you are dropping off in front of the high school, PLEASE PULL FORWARD to the high school main entrance.
Pick-Up Procedures:
Coxsackie Elementary School: Please park in a designated space. If parking is unavailable in front of the elementary school, you may use the spaces in front of the high school. Please do not park at the curb. Parents/guardians must be present at the doors to pick-up your child.
Edward J. Arthur Elementary School: Please park in a designated space. Please do not park at the curb.
Coxsackie-Athens High School and Middle School Pick-Up: Parents/guardians arriving before dismissal are expected to wait in a designated parking spot. You may park in front of the high school or in the rear lot by the gym entrance.
Additional Guidelines:
Coordination with Your Child: To avoid long waiting times, we encourage parents to coordinate pick-up times with their child to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Exiting Campus: To help with traffic flow, parents are encouraged to turn right when exiting the Coxsackie campus parking lot.
The bus loop on the Coxsackie campus is closed from 7:45 a.m.-8:15 a.m. and from 8:50 a.m.-9:15 a.m. in the morning, and 2:15 p.m.-2:40 p.m. and 3:05 p.m.-3:30 p.m. in the afternoon.
Cross Walks: Please do not block crosswalks and yield to pedestrians in all crosswalks on and off campus.
Thank you for your cooperation in following these procedures to ensure the safety of our students and to keep the flow of traffic on campus as efficient as possible. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school office. We appreciate your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Randy Squier
Superintendent of Schools
