PARKING LOT PROCEDURES

Quick and Easy Instructions to a Safe and Flowing Parking Lot

Our parking lot is managed for utmost safety and efficiency. It is imperative to follow a few simple rules to keep ALL of us safe, and so we do not create traffic back-ups for our neighborhood, the City of Troutdale or our school.  Our street, SW 21st, is the only egress that thirteen homes have from their neighborhood above the school.

Remember that each family is assigned a time slot to pick up their students - any exception must be pre-arranged. Time slots have been assigned based on last name.

• Last Names ~  A-G:    2:45-2:55pm (exact name ranges to be assigned by 8/27)

• Last Names  ~ H-R:    2:55-3:05pm

• Last Names  ~ S-Z:   3:05pm

Please remember to:

Come at your designated pick-up time

• Slow down

• Form two lanes in the parking lot for PM dismissal (only one lane in AM)

• Pay attention while waiting patiently – please stay off cell phones

• Follow any instructions given by parking lot attendants, staff and volunteers alike

• At pick up, students will be called from the classroom and escorted to your car. Do not call them out of line.

• If your student is not ready, be prepared to park or make an extra loop around the parking lot

• Once released, be sure to check for traffic on 21st Street while exiting our driveway.  Sometimes neighbors are driving through!

• At Troutdale Rd., TURN RIGHT ONLY please.  No left turns onto Troutdale Rd are permitted.  If you plan to drive north on Troutdale Rd., first turn right to head toward Stark St., then turn around at a side street to come back.  This is inconvenient, but necessary for safe traffic flow.

• Do not park on either side of SW 21st between our driveway and Troutdale Road.  This is a NO PARKING zone!  Thank you.

Students who have a signed permission slip to walk or bike home will be dismissed between 2:55-3pm.

The Parking Lot Information sheet below will be attached to your parking lot tags we will give you at the Open House on 8/26 or on the first day of school.
