Parents may start dropping students off at 7:50 am. Doors open at 8:00 am, and there are three drop off options:

Option 1: Drop off at 7:50, a staff member will supervise students outside of the building until the door open.

Option 2: Park and walk to the entrance from 8:00 - 8:10. Parents may escort their children to the front or side doors.

Option 3: Utilize the car loop from 7:50 - 8:09

Ivywood utilizes a staggered dismissal. All parents must park and enter through the main entrance. All designated pick-up people must present their ICA identification barcode which will be scanned by an ICA employee prior to gaining entrance to the building. Students are dismissed directly from classrooms.
