Parent Pick-up/Drop-off Guidelines

Pickup Line

Vehicular Traffic Flow Guidelines:

Traffic flow at the beginning and end of each day requires very careful attention from all participants, both vehicular and pedestrian. The following guidelines should be adhered to regarding traffic flow:

  1. There is ONE-WAY traffic flow in the school parking lot – entering the west entrance and exiting from the east entrance.
  2. Parents should not get out of vehicles if they are in the drive-thru lanes. Exiting the vehicles slows the process of dismissal. Parents that need to get out of the vehicle to assist loading passengers or those that need to enter the building, must park in the parking lot out of flow of traffic.
  3. Keep all children, both those that are enrolled and those that are not, under direct supervision. Do not allow children of any age to run through the parking lot or drive- thru lanes.
  4. Drive slowly and be watchful of all traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian.
  5. When exiting the parking lot, the left lane will be for those drivers turning left onto Hackberry Street while the right lane will be for those families going straight onto Juniper Court.

Student Drop-Off

Each morning students may be dropped off between 8:10 and 8:25 AM by pulling parallel to the fire lane and allowing students to exit the vehicle. If students need assistance exiting the vehicle or
walking into school, parents should park in the parking lot and assist their children.

Student Pick-Up

Each family is issued a number or carpool letter. When parents/carpool drivers pull up parallel to the fire lane, the number or letter should be readily visible and will be called for students to exit the building. Parents that do not want to wait in the drive-through line may park in the parking lot and come into the school building to retrieve their children. Students that are not picked up by 3:25pm will be signed in to the

After School Program

Parents of students not enrolled in the Before and After School Program will incur a charge of $1 per minute for any student not picked up by 3:25pm.
