Morning Drop-Off:
Supervisors are on the horseshoe to open car doors and assist children with leaving the cars.
Parents should NOT leave their cars. They should stay in the driver’s seat to keep traffic moving. The horseshoe is a “kiss and go” lane for dropping off students only.
You may NOT park in the horseshoe lane or SIT AND WAIT for your child to walk to the playground. If you need to wait and watch your child, please park in the diagonal parking area and walk up with your child.
Please plan to arrive by 8:20 a.m.. Our supervisors need to leave their posts at 8:25 a.m. to be with their
students. There will be NO supervisors to assist your children after 8:25 a.m.. Students arriving after
8:25 a.m. should go in through the front door and check in at the office.
During the School Day:
NO CARS ARE ALLOWED IN THE BUS/FIRE LANE FROM 8:00 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M.. THIS INCLUDES LATE ARRIVING STUDENTS.
If you drive, you must use the horseshoe lane for the safety of everyone. The traffic moves quickly and the area is closely monitored. Children will not be allowed to walk to the corner of the parking lot to meet parents.
If you drive to meet your child, you must park in the diagonal parking along Laburnum or on the street, NOT IN THE SOUTH PARKING LOT, and use the sidewalk to return to your car. If you walk to school to meet your child use the sidewalk when walking to your crossing point. If you are crossing Laburnum please cross at a crossing guard.
DO NOT walk through the temporary parking area or across the horseshoe lane. The safest
and easiest solution is to USE THE HORSESHOE LANE FOR BOTH DROP OFF AND PICK
UP.
Dismissal:
At dismissal time, you must enter going southbound. You can only turn RIGHT into the horseshoe lane. NO LEFT TURNS ARE ALLOWED.
Please pull up to the curb. Children should exit and enter the car ON THE CURB SIDE ONLY! Do not have your child come around to the traffic side of your car to enter. THE SIDEWALKS WERE INSTALLED TO ASSURE THE CHILDREN’S SAFETY!
Do not leave your car when you are waiting for your child. It is important for you to help your child learn how to secure their seat belt on their own. If you need to assist your child in putting on their seat belt, you should pull into a parking spot. Supervisors are outside for the safe dismissal of students. They will not buckle students into their seats.
Once your children have been secured in the car, please wait until the car in front of you moves instead of pulling out and around. Remember, only right turns out of the horseshoe lane. NO LEFT TURNS ARE ALLOWED! Watch for students and parents walking when pulling out of the parking lot.
Walk Routes:
Throughout the school year, some students walk to and from school. Students should exercise extreme caution and cross heavily traveled intersections only where controlled by stop lights or crossing guards. On occasion, sidewalks may not be able to be cleared. Parents are asked to transport their children or make special travel arrangements with neighbors or classmates if they feel their child’s safety is or may be impaired due to inclement weather.
