(Greenfield) Student pickup at the Nodaway Valley Elementary School in Greenfield will look slightly different this year. Elementary School Principal James Larson says the significant change is the after-school pickup routine.
Larson says in the past, students waited in the cafeteria, let out the door, and the students found their parents; in a small school environment, the district could probably get away with this, but instead, he decided to take a more proactive approach and make it safer for students at the end of the day.
Larson says students going to Bridgewater or Fontanelle will be dismissed using the east driveway to the elementary and loaded onto a southbound school bus. Larson says the most significant change will be for parents picking up their children.
Eventually, the staff will learn who goes with who, and the name tags will go away. Next week, Mr. Larson will send out an email reminding parents of the changes.
