Morning and afternoon traffic in and around the Lower and Middle School Campus can be very busy! Parents are strongly encouraged to focus on the safety of all our children when arriving at school by following the safety procedures outlined below.
Bus Lane
We have separate lanes for bus use and another lane for car pick-up/drop-off. Please do not enter the bus lanes.
Student Pickup and Drop Off
Students being dropped off or picked up by private vehicles should do so along the school side of 42nd Street (Middle School) or in the parking lot drop-off lane (Lower School). When entering the parking lot, please follow the arrows to the drop-off area, and pull your car forward as far as possible, allowing your children to exit onto the sidewalk. Please be aware of others behind you who are ready to be dropped off. All cars picking up students use the designated pick-up lane in the parking lot. Students should enter the car from the curb so they are not walking between cars or in the passing lane. No student will be allowed to enter the parking lot on foot without a parent or guardian walking alongside at all times.
No parking is permitted in the drop-off lane at any time. It is a fire lane and, therefore, it is illegal to park there at any time.
Please have your child(ren) ready to be dropped off. If children need extra time to get organized before exiting the vehicle, or if you must accompany your child into the building, please park in the lot or on the street.
Parking
Park in marked stalls only and observe all parking signs and yellow curbs. Please be aware of and observe posted parking restrictions on streets around the campus. Parking restrictions are enforced and illegally parked vehicles may be ticketed and towed. Many areas are posted "NO PARKING" during various times of the day and unattended vehicles in those zones may be ticketed. In addition, city ordinance states that no car can be parked within 20 feet of marked crosswalks and 30 feet of all stop signs and fire hydrants. Please be courteous to neighbors by not blocking driveways or walk-outs.
School Patrol
Please utilize and respect the school patrols. Fifth grade students serve as patrols in the morning. Their primary responsibility is to help students arrive safely to school. They are trained and take their jobs seriously. Please set a good example for your children by respecting the patrols and obeying the rules.
Thank you for your cooperation!
