Transportation Information
If your student will not ride a school bus to school, please adhere to this student drop off/pick up plan:
Georgetown Primary School will offer two different types of arrival and dismissal procedures on a daily basis. Chesapeake Public Schools offers free bus transportation for all students who are currently enrolled at Georgetown Primary. If you DO NOT wish to take advantage of this service, you may choose to transport your child to and from school through Kiss & Ride. Please contact your child’s teacher if you wish to utilize the Kiss & Ride service.
KISS & RIDE
Parents who will be dropping off/picking up their child(ren) each day, are asked to utilize the Kiss & Ride procedures. Vehicles will enter through the back parking lot entrance. Parents will circle around to the Kiss & Ride zone where a staff member will open and close your car door to allow your child(ren) to exit the vehicle. GTP staff will then direct your child into the building. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all children coming through Kiss & Ride must wear a face mask, covering their nose and mouth, prior to exiting their vehicle. Unfortunately, GTP staff will not be able to physically assist your child with getting in and out of the vehicle. Parents must provide physical assistance to children when exiting or entering their vehicle, if assistance is needed.
OneLogin Instructions

If you are still having trouble logging in, please contact your child’s teacher or our TIS for assistance.
