Morning Drop Off Support Needed
We need your support to help your morning car ride drop off go smoothly and safely.
These are things that can be done to help:
1. All drivers should remain in the car and all students need to exit the vehicle on the curb side (right side).
2. Please make sure that your child is ready to exit the car and does so quickly ~ on the curb side.
3. If your child requires a little extra love when they are dropped off in the mornings (& who doesn’t enjoy another hug & kiss from mom or dad?), please park in the parking lot and escort your child across the crosswalk. You do not have to come into the building ~ but you are welcome to do so. Please wait at the crosswalk for a natural break to allow for better traffic flow.
4. Pull all the way forward to the stop sign ~ see orange arrows in the picture above
5. When the first car in the line reaches the stop sign, all cars behind should pull up towards the rear of the car front of them, not creating large spaces between cars. While you may want your child to be dropped off right at the door, this creates a large backup that can extend all the way to the light on route 15. This is unsafe.
6. Our normal car rider traffic begins around 7:40. When you come in just a few minutes earlier, it is much quicker and smoother for all. Our doors open at 7:30 AM, so early is fine!
7. Vehicles towing items should pull into the parking lot as there is not enough space in the orange cone lanes to accommodate towed items and our cones end up being destroyed.
8. Be patient with our staff members on duty ~ they are simply trying to ensure the safety of all of our children.
9. Drive carefully, especially when passing the crosswalk. A child could run out in a split second.
THANK YOU for helping us support efficiency with parent drop off while keeping everyone safe.
