Parents accompany their child into the classroom upon arrival. Parents should not leave without being certain that a teacher has acknowledged the child's arrival and welcomed the child. Parents come into the classroom to pick up their child and must be certain that the teacher is aware that the child is leaving with the parent.

The only entrance to the Welcome Place is the large covered entrance on the east side of the building which opens onto the parking lot. For security purposes, all other doors remain locked and are used only as emergency exits.
