Shafer Elementary Student Handbook - Campuses - Katy ISD

school hours, you may call the Katy Family YMCA at (281) 392-5055 and
inquire about registration and fee information for before/after school care.
Please be sure your child’s teacher knows what day care bus your child will
be riding as well as the day care’s phone number. If they will attend YMCA
here at Shafer Elementary, please indicate that as well.
Car Rider/Parent pickup
Car
The front of the school has been designated as the PARENT DRIVE for
dropping children off and picking children up. Parents should not arrive
prior to 3:20 p.m. At dismissal, teachers work with safety and security in
mind, while loading students into cars.
To ensure that the correct person is picking up the correct child(ren) and
for traffic safety, parents are asked to stay in their cars and go through the
car pick up line to retrieve children. Cars should not be left unattended at
any time in the parent drive.
Parents will be given a tag board sign to use in order for teachers to quickly
identify students in the car rider line. Place this sign in the front window
(review mirror) of your vehicle each day when you enter the car rider line.
This will assist us in expediting the process of our parent pick up system.
Replacement cards are readily available in the front office.
Several cars will be loaded at one time. Please drive to the station as
directed by the teachers and safety patrol on duty so that we may quickly
load cars at dismissal time. We ask that parents remain in their cars.
Please do not park and walk across the pickup area to get your
child(ren). This causes added congestion and delays and poses a
safety hazard to the children and our staff.
Please be PROMPT in picking up your child(ren). All teachers and staff are
off contract at 3:55 and are not available to supervise children after
3:55.
Please refer to the separate traffic flow map as well as the
arrival/dismissal procedures located on the back of your car tag.
