Parking, Safety and Car Line Procedures

Drop off & Pick-up Procedures 

Carpooling, walking, and biking are strongly encouraged! Be sure to let your children know who is picking them up and /or meeting them and at what location. 

THE DROP-OFF/PICK-UP AREA IS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING BETWEEN THE CAFETERIA DOORS AND THE MAIN OFFICE.  

Car Line Procedures 

Our carline is an integral procedure at Blueberry Hill School. Traffic congestion is no surprise with close to 400 children arriving or leaving the school at one time. Please work with us by remaining patient while picking up or dropping off your child. Time is critical for everyone, but for the safety of our entire community, all procedures must be followed. The essential goal of the carline procedure is to ensure the safety of our students, teachers, staff, and families. The procedure is one that has been reviewed by the Safety Officer from the Longmeadow Police Department, and works well for us only if our community cooperates. When a driver in the carline chooses to disregard any component of our procedure, the choice compromises the safety of our children. 

Please review and adhere to the following: 

Bikers 

All bikers entering the school from the side closest to the high school fields must WALK their bikes to the bike racks by the gym. Students should walk their bikes on the sidewalk then continue to the designated line up area after parking their bikes in a bike rack. 

All bikers entering the school on the Lawrence Drive side must follow the paved sidewalk along the back of the parking lot to the bike racks by the 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms. Students should then stay on the sidewalk until they reach their designated line-up area. 

When leaving, students again must walk their bikes until they are off school grounds. 

Walkers

Walkers must remain on the sidewalks at all times while on school property. Crossing through the parking lot at any time is prohibited. Reminder: Students may only use the crosswalk in front of the school with an accompanying adult.
