Early Childhood (Preschool, Pre-kindergarten)
Drop-off: 8:00 a.m.-8:10 a.m.
As vehicles drive up alongside the pond, they will turn right into the front loop entrance and pull into our Visitors Parking Lot (north side of school). Since our early childhood program requires students be signed in and out, families are required to park their vehicle in the assigned early childhood spots in the visitors parking lot (see above map). Parking is also permitted at the far end of our Visitors Parking Lot, keeping in mind our kindergarten through 4th grade families will be “stacking” for morning drop-off in the first 8-10 rows. NOTE: “Stacking” requires vehicles be in rows, bumper-to-bumper, and not in traditional parking spots. This process allows five (5) cars in each row and will flow through loop for morning drop off of K-3 students. Once parked, parents are to exit their vehicle and escort their child into school using the early childhood entrance, which is located at the west end of the school, by the black railing.
After drop-off, parents will re-join the flow of traffic as part of the drop-off “loop.” Upon entering the loop, please pull slightly away from the curb to signal you have already dropped your student off and safeties are not needed for any assistance with your vehicle. Please keep in mind, there is always only one lane of traffic at all times; do not pass. This is done for the safety of the students and volunteers working traffic.
Front Loop: Kindergarten through 3rd Grade
Doors Open: 7:50 a.m.
As vehicles drive up alongside the pond, they will turn right into the front loop entrance and pull into our Visitors Parking Lot (north side of school) to begin the stacking process. Stacking requires vehicles be in rows, bumper-to-bumper, and not in traditional parking spots. This process allows five (5) cars in each row and will flow through loop for morning drop off of K-4 students. When one row is full with five (5) cars, parents must begin a new row.
Once loop starts, traffic will loop through the Visitors Parking Lot then exit the lot turning right to enter the drive in front of the school. Safety Patrol members will assist children out of their cars. Parents do not get out of their cars. Once all of the cars in front of the school have dropped off their children, cars will proceed to the stop sign while staying in a single line. There is only one lane of traffic in the front loop at all times; do not pass. A traffic volunteer will be at the stop sign regulating traffic flow.
Back Loop: 4th through 8th Grade
Doors Open: 7:50 a.m.
As vehicles drive up alongside the pond, vehicles will continue driving past the front loop entrance and proceed into the back loop for student drop-off. A traffic volunteer will be at the stop sign regulating traffic flow.
There are no safeties in the back loop. Parents are asked to pull up to the cone (located near the Mary garden) to allow for a full loop of cars to drop off. Doors do not open until 7:50 a.m. and we ask for parents to stay with students in vehicles until a staff member opens the back doors. A traffic volunteer will be at the front and back loop intersection directing traffic flow. NOTE: No left turns onto Warren Rd. are permitted.
