Bob Lewis Elementary School

Arrival and Dismissal Guidelines

Lewis Arrival

During morning arrival, Outdoor Safety Patrols and supervising staff will be available to assist children in the front driveway loop and hallways starting at 7:15 am. Students arriving after 7:15 am may go directly to their designated hallway spot or to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. Students arriving between 6:45 am and 7:15 am will be required to sit in the supervised hallway foyer area.
Between 7:25 and 7:40 am, students may be dropped off in the bus driveway. (This is after our buses have arrived and gone.) If a bus has arrived late and is still in the circle, please wait behind the bus. At 7:40 am, the entrance doors in and near the cafeteria are locked as our duty teachers need to go to their classrooms. Students dropped off after 7:40 am must use the front school entrance.
After 7:45 am, parents are required to sign in the front office using the NISD Raptor system. Parents will need a photo ID when signing in at the office. All parents on campus must have a visitor badge. This is for the safety of students and staff. We greatly appreciate your understanding as we implement this required safety system. Staff will be on duty each morning to monitor and assist students to their rooms.
For the safety of the students, dropping off and picking up unescorted students in the parking lots is strictly prohibited.
Lewis Dismissal
Afternoon pick up will take place in the front of the school. This is the only parent pick up location.
Dismissal will begin a few minutes before 2:45 pm. Parent pick up students will sit daily at their designated grade level spots. Older siblings will wait at the primary end of the parent pick up area. Kinder students will wait in a designated classroom at dismissal.
We have staff on duty in front of the school until 3:15 pm. Traffic is much lighter after 3:00 pm and you may prick up your child as late as 3:15 pm. Any students being picked up later than 3:15, must be signed out in the school office.
While in the front driveway, parents are asked to pull forward as far as possible. Staff will assist students to the cars.
Parents often comment that it would be helpful if we directed traffic on Seascape. By law, we are not allowed to direct traffic on a city street. Therefore, we ask that you are always courteous and considerate of other drivers, especially during heavy traffic times.
Any changes made regarding your child's dismissal schedule must be made and cleared before 2:00 pm. It is difficult to give messages to students near the dismissal time. We appreciate your compliance with this procedure.
Parents are asked to wait outside of the building when picking up students. This will allow for out foyer to remain congestion free while walking students out of the front doors and this will keep your child safe.
Bus and daycare students will be dropped off at their supervised areas. In order to ensure the safety of the walkers, they will be walked out to the end of the appropriate campus sidewalks at approximately 2:55 pm.
