Before School Drop-Off

• If possible, arrange your seating so your child exits from the passenger side of the vehicle.
• Always pull forward as much as possible (don't stop at the #5 cone if you can pull forward to #1-4).
• Students may only exit the vehicle at the cones. Please do not allow your child to exit your vehicle if they must cross traffic in order to reach the building.
• Please do not park and walk up to the school entrance during car drop off. 

 

After School Pick-Up

• Arrange your vehicle seating so your child may load from the passenger side of the vehicle.
• Encourage your child to buckle themselves or move beyond the cones/pick-up zone if you need to buckle them. 
• LANES 2-4 are used as needed (see graphic below). Please follow directions from the School Traffic Team and posted signs as to which lane to enter. 
• Car tags must hang on the rearview mirror. Please write your child's first and last name on the car tag as large as possible with a Sharpie.
