Preschool Pick and Drop Off Policy Summerville: It is the policy of SHEEP that parents will drop their preschool child/children off at the preschool desk. This desk is located in the middle of the main building (see attached map). On the first day your student will receive their name badge in their classroom.
Once you have arrived at the preschool desk your child will be scanned using our phone app and a preschool SHEEP volunteer will take your child/children to their first class. If your child has more than one class at SHEEP they will be escorted from one class to another. Children will be returned to the preschool desk when their classes are over. This way there will be a central place to pick up and drop off your kids. Your child will be scanned again as they leave the building for check out. This method of drop-off and pick-up is similar to many schools, mothers' morning out programs, and church nurseries. In many of those places, children are signed in and out at a central location and then walked by an adult to their individual classes.
Please make sure your child wears his name tag for the rest of the school year. Additionally, Parents are to pick up preschool students, siblings cannot pick them up for safety reasons.
