Student Dropoff Procedures

AM Student

Doors open at 8:15 a.m.. Students may arrive to school between 8:15 and 8:30 and go directly to their classrooms where teachers will be greeting them. This is a time for students to check in with their teachers and get settled for the day. School begins promptly at 8:30 a.m.

Pick-up and drop-off of students occurs most smoothly when parents follow the procedures. It is easiest to turn right into the parking lot when heading east on Butterfield Crossing Drive. There is no parking on Butterfield Crossing Drive, however students may be dropped off on Butterfield Crossing Drive in front of the school. When dropping off or picking up a student in a car, please stay in the right lane upon entering the parking lot. This is the Kiss N' Go lane and is the only location designated for dropping off and picking up students in the parking lot. The left lane is a through lane and traffic is not allowed to stop except for people crossing in the crosswalk. Students should not enter or exit cars in the through lane. Traffic in the through lane should pay close attention to cars leaving the Kiss N' Go lane to merge with traffic leaving the parking lot. Anyone picking up or dropping off students are expected to follow all posted signs in the parking lot. Not following posted signs in the Meadow View Elementary parking lot, or along Butterfield Crossing Drive may result in being ticketed by the Castle Rock Police Department.

Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district. This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of Douglas County School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students who exited special education services as of June 30, 2016. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
