Parking lot safety
Please follow parking lot guidelines:
Parking Spaces: Parking spaces in the parking lot are for staff only.
TK/Kinder: No TK or Kinder student will be allowed to be picked up through the carline flow of traffic. Park your car on the street and walk to the blue gate to drop-off and pick-up your TK/Kinder student. Parents/Guardians must show their pink badge to pick up their students [provided by teacher on the 1st day of school]. TK/Kinder students will not be released to anyone who does not have the proper pink badge.
First Graders: Students will use the blue gate by the front office for arrival and dismissal. Carline is an option for arrival and dismissal. If using the carline, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR, students will walk to you at dismissal. Older siblings are allowed to pick up their first grade sibling and walk to the carline at dismissal.
Follow the Traffic Flow: Please adhere to the marked traffic patterns and follow the directions of the traffic flow. Do not enter the parking lot through the staff entrance.
Use Designated Areas: Drop-off and pick-up should only occur in the designated areas. Do not stop or park in the carline drop-off & pick-up red curb in front of the school.
Remain in Your Vehicle: For the safety of your child and to keep the line moving, please remain in your vehicle during drop-off and pick-up. Staff members will be available to assist students as needed.
Be Mindful of Time: Arrive promptly during the designated drop-off and pick-up times. Early or late arrivals can cause unnecessary congestion and delays. Tardies for students begin when the gates close, which is promptly at 7:45am.
Avoid Using Phones: For safety reasons, please refrain from using your phone while driving through the parking lot.
Follow Staff Instructions: Our staff members are there to assist with the smooth operation of the parking lot at dismissal time. Please follow their instructions and be courteous.
