Parking Lot & Drop Off

When you pass the Staff Only Parking Lot entrance, please pull forward to spot #1, or, if spot #1 is taken, then spot #2, and so forth.  Much like a roller coaster loading station, 6 cars enter spots 1-6.  Children exit their cars at the same time that people cross on the crosswalk.  After people have crossed, all cars should be ready to depart together so the next group of 6 can pull up.  (At spot 4, please pull over the speed bump and stop before the crosswalk.)

Please remember that although your child is safely inside the school or in the vehicle, many other students are still walking around and cautious driving is needed at all times. We will be monitoring these procedures to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing traffic congestion while ensuring optimum safety for our students. 

Thank you for your cooperation and please drive safely!

Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures 2024-2025

Drop Off:

• Students can be dropped off as early as 8:00 AM on M, T, Th, F, and 9:00 AM on W.  

• Teaching starts at 8:15 AM (9:15 AM on W). 

• The Mavis Gate (back of school) will be closed promptly at 8:15 AM this year. 

• Plan for 10 additional minutes for drop off traffic once you reach the front loop.  

• Walk or bike to school to avoid the morning traffic.   

• Drop off is from the far right lane from the right-hand side of the car ONLY.  

• Drive to the furthest open spot (spot 1) before stopping to drop off your child.  

• TK/K students must be walked to class.  

• Cars can park in the front lot only.  

• The back lot and the first row of the front lot are for staff only (as marked). 

• Please adhere to the parking space signs (i.e. Handicapped or Gala Auction Winner).  

• Elementary students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian in the parking lot.  

• All foot traffic must cross the parking lot lanes via the front crosswalk ONLY.  

• All three traffic lanes MUST STOP where indicated in the middle of the loop.

• Please do not get out of the car at any time from the drop-off lane.  If your child has something they need to get out of the trunk, please park in a parking spot.  Please drop off your child at the furthest open spot in the drop off lane (i.e. spot 1).  This supports the flow of traffic. 

Pick Up:

• TK/K must be picked up from the classroom door.  

• 1st-3rd exit through the front double doors. Wait outside the front doors. Leave space for children to exit.

• 4th-5th exit through the front side gate.  Wait outside the faculty lot.  

• Students can also exit out the back gate to Mavis.  The gate will be locked at 3:05 PM.  

• Please talk with your child about a meeting point.  

• To pick up your child by car, please either park in a parking space and walk to the school OR wait in the pick up lane.  If you are in the pick up lane, your child must be ready to be picked up and must be able to get into the car on their own (with staff support).  Please do not get out of the car at any time from the pick up lane.  If your child has something they need to get out of the trunk, please park in a parking spot.  Please pick up your child from the furthest open spot in the pick up lane (i.e. spot 1).  This supports the flow of traffic.
