In order to improve the safety of our Tigers, we will be doing our drop-off and dismissal differently at Sand Gap Elementary. The diagrams that are attached to this sheet should help with understanding.
Morning Drop-Off for Tigers
Parent drop off will continue to be at the end of the school building facing 421. There will continue to be two lanes that exit over the hill and it will continue to start at 7:15 and end at 7:45. The only change will be that parents need to enter campus using Powell Road from S-Tree Tower Road. Please yield to all buses coming up hill drive from 421 and do not block the intersection. Drive across the intersection to the double drop-off line as space allows.
Morning Drop-Off for JCMS/JCHS Students
Though we would prefer for JCHS and JCMS to ride the bus from their home, we understand that there are drop-offs occurring. If you are dropping off a JCHS or JCMS student at Sand Gap School to catch a bus, please turn onto hill drive from 421. Stay to the right and turn onto the lower parking lot. BJ will drop off his Tigers at 7:00 and pull down to the lower parking lot to load JCMS and JCHS students. We expect these students to stay in their car until BJ loads them on his bus. He will load JCMS and JCHS students from 7:05-7:20. BJ is the only driver that is transporting JCMS or JCHS drop-off students. These drop-offs should not be at the upper SGS parking lot for any reason.
What if you have a JCMS/JCHS drop-off AND a Tiger to drop off?
After unloading your JCMS/JCHS student, exit the lower parking lot and turn right onto 421. Turn right on S-Tree Tower Road and then the first right which is Powell Road. Follow directions for Morning Drop-Off for Tigers. Do not allow your Tigers to exit your car at the lower parking lot and walk up the stairs.
Evening Parent Pick-Up
Evening parent pick-up has not changed other than entering on Powell Road like in the morning. Parent pick-up at SGS will begin at 2:55 and end at 3:15
Jackson County Public Schools appreciates your cooperation and understanding as we make changes to improve the safety of our Tigers.
