As we get ready for a new school year, we want to highlight our morning drop off and afternoon pick up procedures for our families!
Pine Avenue itself becomes very congested and we all can do our part to help in that by following these procedures.
Morning Drop-Off Procedures |
Using the entrance off of Pine Avenue, enter the right hand side of the driveway to drop off your student. To ensure the safety of our students, vehicles are NOT permitted to use the left lane in the student drop-off driveway. To maximize the amount of students who can be dropped off at once, please pull forward as directed by Pine Avenue staff members. **This is a fire/emergency lane and must be open at all times. This traffic has also become congested and potentially dangerous.
Exit the student drop-off driveway through the exit off of Washington Avenue.
To ensure a steady flow of traffic, we encourage parents to use southbound Pine Avenue for entering and exiting the drop-off driveways to minimize intersecting traffic.
One alternate option to driving through the student drop-off driveway:
You may park along southbound Pine Avenue next to the playground fencing, where your student can walk on the sidewalk to the school after being dropped off. This option will allow you to avoid needing to enter into the drive-through drop-off.
*Students are NOT permitted to cross the parking lot alone to get to vehicles except at the crosswalk in front of the school entrance. A staff member will accompany students across the line of vehicles waiting for students if someone is unable to meet them at the overhang.
Afternoon Pick-Up Procedures |
Using the entrance off of Pine Avenue, enter the right hand side of the driveway to pick up your student. To ensure the safety of our students, vehicles are NOT permitted to use the left lane in the student pick-up driveway. This policy will likely slow the pick-up process down somewhat, but exists to maintain student safety. To maximize the amount of students who can be picked up at once, please pull forward as directed by Pine Avenue staff members. **This is a fire/emergency lane and must be open at all times. This traffic has also become congested and potentially dangerous.

*Parents are NOT permitted to exit their vehicle, nor walk up to the building/into the building to pick up their child unless under extenuating circumstances.
Please call the office if you have any questions about these procedures. Thank you for your cooperation! We appreciate your assistance in maintaining student safety.
