Drop-off & Pick-up:
  • Pull up to the drop-off location. Please stay in your car when dropping off your child. (If parking, please look both ways when crossing the parking lot.)

  • Continuously drive forward until you are bumper to bumper with the car in front of you, or directed otherwise from school employee or other designated traffic attendant.

  • Have your child ready to exit the vehicle after you have stopped in the drop-off zone (jackets, masks, and backpacks on). Please do not put items in the trunk or in another seat as no one is to exit the vehicle.

  • Have your child exit/enter the vehicle on the passenger side quickly and safely.

  • When it is safe to do so, and one car at a time, make a U-turn around the cones and drive slowly back through the parking lot. Please make a right-hand turn only on to Hazel Ave when exiting.

Please Do Not:

● Cut in line to take an open spot to drop off your child.
● Get out of the vehicle to help your child.
● Store your child’s backpack inside the trunk.
● Leave your car unattended in the drop-off zone.
● Have a conversation in the drop-off zone.
