Since opening our beautiful building in August of 2019, we have proudly carried this vision into everything we do. As we begin our 7th year, we continue to take great pride in growing #anchoreducated learners who are inspired to reach their full potential.

This will be an early dismissal day at 11:40 AM, and lunch will not be served.

We can’t wait to welcome our students back and kick off another incredible year at Anchor Pointe!

Parents will enter from 168th and Whitmore Street and follow the road west to the south side of Anchor Pointe Elementary, where the preschool is located. You’ll see a bus loop in front of the preschool—this area is reserved for district bus transportation and local daycare vans only.

Parents dropping off preschool students should park in a designated parking spot and walk their child to the doors labeled Anchor Pointe Preschool.

Parents will again enter from 168th and Whitmore Street and head west into the Anchor Pointe parking lot on the south side of the building. Please do not park in the bus loop, as it is reserved for district and daycare transportation only. Parents should park in a designated spot and walk to the front preschool doors to wait while teachers escort students out for dismissal.

Additional communication regarding arrival and dismissal procedures may be shared by your child’s classroom teacher or building administration.

Thank you for making safety a priority during arrival and dismissal at Anchor Pointe Elementary.

Students may arrive at 7:50, and can attend Reading or Walking Club in the morning from 7:50-8:00. Breakfast is served from 7:45-8:00.
