Henry Ford Student Item Pick-Up

Monday, June 1st from 10:30-2:30

Hello, Parents and Guardians,

We want to inform you that we will have a student item pick-up Monday, June 1st from 10:30 a.m – 2:30 p.m.  This will be your opportunity to pick-up up all of your child’s belongings that were left in the school due to the Governor’s order to shut down schools.  

We are planning to have two pick-up areas outside of Henry Ford: 

  • Young 5’s-2nd grade will be located along Driscoll Ave. 
  • 3rd-5th grade will be located along Mercury Dr.  

We would like parents and guardians to follow the route that is on the attached map.  The traffic will only go one way down Driscoll Ave. and then you will need to turn right to go down Mercury Dr.  If you need to enter the loop again you will need to turn right on Hubbard Dr., then right on Korte St. and Right on Driscoll Ave. If you only have a child in grades 3-5, you may drive directly down Mercury Dr. 

Please follow the times listed below by last name letter for pick-up:

Last name starting with the letter      A      10:30-11:30 

Last name starting with the letter   B – L   11:30-12:30

Last name starting with the letter   M – S   12:30 – 1:30

Last name starting with the letter   T – Z    1:30 – 2:30 

When you get to the pick-up area PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR.  There will be a staff member that will bring up your child’s items to the window.  

We will need you to have a paper to show in your passenger window with the information listed below in large print for each child that attends Henry Ford Elementary, so the staff member will know what items to bring to your car.  If any of your children have library books or other books to return they can be given to the staff member when they come up to your car.

Example of Paper to Show in Passenger Window:

                    1st Child –       First and Last name, Teacher Name, Grade
        2nd Child –      First and Last name, Teacher Name, Grade
        3rd Child  –      First and Last name, Teacher Name, Grade
