Student Arrival/Dismissal Instructions

The layout of Pequea allows for separate entrances and exits for cars and buses. We ask that you please assist us in ensuring everyone is safe and respectful of property during this time. No cars may enter the bus driveway during the hours of 8:15 AM to 9:15 AM and 3:00 PM to 3:45 PM. All vehicles should enter the parking lot from Bauer Avenue.

As parents arrive to drop off and pick up students, they should remain in their vehicles in a single-file line and students will enter the building and exit the building independently while supervised by staff members. If your child takes longer to exit the vehicle or if the parent needs to exit the vehicle to assist the child, we ask that you please park in a spot and then walk the child to the door. This will ensure we keep the line moving and we do not block the roadway. Please be sure you notify the office of who is picking your child up. If it is someone unknown by the school, they may be asked to show photo ID before your child is released to their care.

We ask that if you need to enter the building, you park in an appropriate parking space and use the main entrance at the front of the building only, this includes arrival and dismissal times. Visitors will not be permitted to enter from other doors during our arrival/dismissal times. We appreciate your cooperation in assisting us in the supervision and safety of all students.

Safe2Say

Penn Manor School District is participating in a statewide effort to prevent school violence called Safe2Say Something.

The program enables students and staff to anonymously report information about individuals they suspect may be about to hurt themselves or others via a phone app, website or 24-hour crisis center.

To submit a tip or link to the Safe2Say app, click here.

To submit a tip by phone, call 1-844-5-SAYNOW (1-844-572-9669)

Trained Safe2 Say staffers will review the tips and immediately contact school officials and, if necessary, law enforcement, to respond to the information they receive.

Penn Manor has established a team of school staff members to respond to tips. In addition, students and staff will receive training on reporting tips and identifying behaviors that could indicate a student is intent on causing harm.

We encourage students and staff members to use this new tool in reducing school violence.
