SECURITY
1 Which entrance should I use and where can I park my car?In the morning, we suggest that families plan their arrival to Sabinos or Pinos Street. There are early morning peaks, so it is best if you plan ahead and con-sider that it might take up to 15 minutes to arrive to the gates once you enter these streets.
These are the instructions for each school section:
Preschool:
• We ask you to come through Pinos and get in line so students can de-scend from the vehicle in an orderly fashion. School personnel will be
there to help them get to their classroom.
• At the end of the day, we require parents to
park their cars outside the school premises
and enter through the access located in Pinos street.
• You should pick up students outside their classrooms.
• Preschool students have a blue JFK ID, it is mandatory that they and their parents, show their credential as they enter or leave our facilities.
Elementary School:
• Students can access through any of the gates located in Sabinos or Pinos.
• At the end of the day, they will have the following options depending on their JFK ID:
1. Park outside the School premises, enter through the gate located in Pinos and pick them up outside their classroom (Red ID).
2. While in your vehicle, get in line and pick up students through the Pinos gate as School personnel call their names (yellow ID).
3.- Allow students to go outside the School premises and wait until you or some family member can pick them up (green ID).
Middle School:
• Students are allowed to enter and leave the school exclusively through the gates located in Sabinos Street (the Main Access or through the Parking lot).
• Every Middle School student will have a green JFK ID. This means that they will be allowed to leave the School premises by themselves after 2:30 pm.

4 How does the Life Insurance Policy signed at the time of registration work and how can I ask for an extension in case I want one for my spouse?Students have a school insurance that can cover their tuition and enrollment payments in case one of their parents or tutor dies. Parents must fill out the insurance form when enrolling their children. Also, you can ask for on your own, for the same type of insurance for your spouse, if you wish to do so,
