Pick Up Procedures

  • End of day dismissal. Please arrive for pick up 10 minutes prior to your camper’s pick up time. 
    • Parents of campers in Grades 2 and up should wait along Spring Street, in your car or on foot. Please keep a minimum of 6 feet from other households while you wait for campers to be dismissed. Once your child is transferred to you, we ask you to move away from campus to help us ensure that physical distance between households is maintained.
    • Parents of EC and K-1 campers may walk to the Lower School playground to check out their child from the program director.

Fore River Campus

283 Osgood Street, Portland

Drop Off Procedures at Waynflete’s Fore River Fields, 283 Osgood Street, Portland 

  • Drop Off. On the first day of each session, please park in the parking lot and walk your camper onto the fields to meet the coach and counselors. If we have contacted you about an outstanding bill or incomplete paperwork, please visit the Trainer after dropping off your child. On subsequent days, you may continue to park and walk your camper to greet the group, or you may use the horseshoe driveway, dropping your child in front of the field house to be greeted by our staff and escorted to the appropriate group.

Pick Up Procedures at Fore River Fields

  • End of day dismissal. Please arrive for pick up 10 minutes prior to your camper’s pick up time. You may park in the FRF parking lot and walk to meet your child’s group. Please ensure your child has checked out with the program director or counselor before leaving with you (a high-five will suffice).
  • We invite you to check in with your child’s program director / coach at the end of the day, but please allow them time to safely account for the authorized dismissal of the entire group before speaking with you.

Absences, Early Dismissal and Alternate Pick Up 

Campers who are being picked up early by parents/guardians, or being picked up by another adult, must bring in a signed note, email the Office Manager at summer@waynflete.org.

Safety is Our Primary Concern

The Waynflete campus and Waynflete’s Fore River Fields are part of residential communities and the arrival and departure of more than 100 children each day has a significant impact on each of the neighborhoods. The school strives to maintain a safe and friendly environment for students and neighbors during drop-off and pickup times. You can help us by avoiding things like blocking driveways, parking too close to intersections, and speeding. Please drive slowly, park legally, and obey all city parking signs and regulations at all times.
