STUDENT ARRIVAL TIMES Supervision begins at 8:25am for morning session attendees and 12:25pm for afternoon session attendees. For the safety of all children, students are not allowed on school grounds prior to then. STUDENT ARRIVAL PROCEDURES Please note that arrival and dismissal procedures have been updated to keep cohorts of students together and safely distanced both inside and outside. Students should be dropped off between white signs at the top of the traffic circle and use the following doors when entering school:
Students should social distance while waiting in line. Red dots have been painted on the ground to represent six foot distances. Late arrivals (after 8:40 am) should use the main doors and check in at the office. In the event of inclement weather, students will assemble in the building at 8:25 am. STUDENT DISMISSAL PROCEDURES Classroom teachers will lead their grade levels out their designated doors one class at a time.
Staff will be at each location to monitor students and ensure appropriate social distancing. For students departing by car, please make sure to always display your name tag curbside. New families will receive a name tag on the first day of school; returning families who need to replace name tags can obtain them from the office for $2. REPORT AN ABSENCE Report a student absence by calling school before 8:30 am: 630.861.4698. Afternoon absences should be reported by 12:15 pm. We will call home to verify an absence if a student is absent and we have not received a call. Always call the office to report an absence; teachers do not relay student absences to the office. BICYCLE RIDING TO WALKER Students in Grades 3-5 may ride their bikes to school only after they have registered their bicycles with the Clarendon Hills Police. Students must wear bicycle helmets, lock their bikes while at Walker and have learned bicycle safety rules. SAFETY TO AND FROM SCHOOL Students may only cross Walker Avenue at the manned crosswalk. Please do not park across the street and wave your child across the street. Please review safety practices with your child, including the use of the crossing guard intersection, looking both ways, crossing at intersections, avoiding strangers, walking with friends/siblings, and utilizing the safest route to and from school.
