Families drop off and pick up their students on the Campbell Ave side of Castleton Elementary School. Buses drop off students in the bus loop on the Ransom Ave side of the school. Outlined below are the procedures to follow when dropping off or picking up your student.
Car Line-Up Times
Castleton Elementary School doors open at 7:55 AM and students are dismissed at 2:25 PM. This means cars should not be lining up at CES before 7:50 AM for arrival or before 2:20 PM for dismissal. Please do not arrive any earlier than these times.
Enter/Exit Campbell Ave from Green Ave
Please enter and exit Campbell Ave using Green Ave, not Scott Ave, during arrival and dismissal. We must have all cars arriving and exiting in the same direction to ensure a smooth flow of traffic. See the diagram here for further clarification on the route and traffic flow during drop-off/pick-up.
Drop-Off/Pick-Up Location
When entering the loop at the front of the building, please pull up as far as possible. Students should exit on the sidewalk side of the vehicle and enter at either the large gym doors or the main entrance, whichever is closest. Please do not let students exit on vehicles on the driver’s side. See the diagram here for further clarification on the drop-off/pick-up location.
Campbell Ave. Residents
Please be courteous and mindful of our neighbors on Campbell Ave. Make sure you are not blocking their driveways when lining up for arrival or dismissal so they can enter and exit them as needed.
