The following procedures have been put in place to make the end of the day safe and smooth. We ask that all parents please assist us in assuring that every child at Hoffman is safe by following these rules. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

All parents are asked to remain in their vehicle and pull up alongside the curb at the front of the building (west parking lot) to load their children on the curbside. Parents are not allowed to park and walk their children to a vehicle. When entering from Harrison Street, please keep to the right side until you reach the start of the line (behind cones in front of the building). Please do not park your car along the fence or in front of the cones on curbside. Only a single lane of traffic will be allowed in the inner circle of the driveway along the front of the school at the end of the day. Anyone needing to enter the school for an after school meeting or activity is asked to park in the lot or the street. The only exceptions to this are vehicles with designated handicapped parking permits and the Special Education buses.

Parents will not be allowed to park and wait in the school hallway or outside of the front door of the school for their child, but must remain in their vehicle.

Please do not pick-up or park your car in the east parking lot. This parking lot is designated for bus pick-up and drop off only.

If your child is assigned a bus please use this service whenever possible. If you will be picking children up at the end of of the day, please write a note indicating your child will be a walker. Your signature, along with the correct day/date, will help in making the correct changes.

If on the rare occasion your transportation arrangements require  change for your child during the school day please call the office before 2:00 pm. This will allow the office staff ample time to notify your child's teacher of the change.

Students are not allowed to ride any bus other than the one assigned. Thus, a child may not ride home on another bus for a play date or go to another child's home if it requires a change from their assigned bus. Parents will need to make their own transportation arrangements for this purpose.

If it is necessary for your child to get off at another stop on the same route, a note from the parent or guardian must be sent to school and approved by the Principal.
