Question 2

Drop-off / Pick up Procedures

Accepted Answer

Sign in/out attendance procedures. 
Sign-in/Sign-out is done by the adult dropping off or picking up using the Brightwheel app. Each authorized adult will receive a unique 4-digit pin (which can be changed through the Edit Profile section of the app).  Adults will sign in or out by scanning the QR code on the door and entering their pin. 
 
Drop-off 8:00-9:00 am 
The earliest explorers can be dropped off is 8am. We request that all explorers are at our location by 9am. 
 
Pick-up Procedures
Pickup is at 3:30 pm. For those families who enroll in aftercare, pickup is anytime from 3:30-6 pm at the same location as drop-off. As stated above, all parents and authorized adults should come knowing their 4-digit PIN and with the Brightwheel app installed on their smartphone.
