School Safety at Drop-off and Pick-up
In an effort to ensure we maximize the safety of our current practices, here are a few reminders about drop-off and pick-up:
On W Robin Ave and in the main drive-thru:
- Pull up as far as you can along the yellow loading zone. This allows cars behind you to pull up and more students to unload/load at the same time, while also decreasing the amount of time cars are waiting in the street.
- Do not park in the red zone on Robin Ave outside the front office.
- Do not park in the yellow zone outside the front office within the drive-thru area.
- If you need to go into the office, please park in the green 20-minute zone or in an approved parking space.
- Stay to the right until your child has either exited or entered the car. The left lane is for passing only. (Families do a GREAT job at this!)
On N Quail Dr outside the kindergarten/pre-school area:
- Parking and walking to the gate is the safest way to pick up your child.
- Do not double-park.
- Do not drive or park in the wrong lane.
On all streets:
- Many of our streets do not have sidewalks, so please watch for students in the street who are walking home.
- Carefully look in all directions at crosswalks and intersections.
- Drive slowly.
- Be patient.
Thank you all for your help in ensuring our drop-off and pick-up practices keep our students safe!
