Talihina Elementary New Pick Up and Drop Off Area

Talihina Elementary will be using our new Pick up and Drop Off area starting on the morning of January 15, 2024. Parents will need to come by the Elementary Office and pick up their blue student I.D. tags/placards during the week of January 8-11. Parents will need to inform the office who is on the pickup list. These I.D.’s will be placed on the inside of the windshield when picking students up.

There will be one entry point into the Pickup and Drop Off zone and it is located on Hellen Street between 1^st and 2^nd Streets. We ask that you turn onto Hellen off of 2^nd Street in order to minimize traffic congestion. There will be a staff member at the entrance to direct you to where you need to go.

1. Morning Drop Off: Elementary Doors will not open until 7:30 a.m., there will be no early drop-offs.
2. Pick-ups and drop offs will be a single lane of traffic.
3. Parents will remain in their vehicles
4. Students are to exit/enter on the passenger side only.
5. Students who are to be picked up will be called by family number I.D. on inside of windshield.
6. Staff members will be outside to make sure students have safely entered/exited the vehicle.
7. Once the students are safely loaded/unloaded you will be directed when to exit onto 1^st Street.

Another change is that our Pre/Kindergarten and Kindergarten students will now be picked up in the new Pick up/Drop off area. Parents of these students can park across from the Elementary (2^nd Street) to drop students off but the doors will not open until 7:30.
