Parents Please:

• Please drive slowly and carefully around the drive.
• Please be aware of your child and other children.
• Please do not talk on your cell phone while driving through carpool.
• Please do not get out of your car.
• Please do not “honk” your horn to get your child’s attention.

A.M. Arrival

The car pool begins at 8:45 am. Should you arrive early, please pull your car over to form a carpool line starting at the first cone. Please do not drop off your children early as duty for staff does not begin until 8:45. You will find a cone indicating “the beginning of the carpool line.” Please form a single line.

When you are within the “coned area,”  safety patrol children and staff will be there to open your child’s car door and escort your child out. Four cars pull in front of the school at a time. Please make sure your children are sitting on the passenger side to facilitate movement of the line and ensure their safety.

The a.m. car pool line concludes at 9:10.  If your child arrives after 9:10, please park your car and escort your child into the lobby for a late pass. Parents must escort tardy children into the school and give the reason for their tardiness.

P.M. Dismissal

A cone will indicate the start of the pull over area for carpool. Please form a single line starting at the cone.

Most days parents can expect to be through the carpool process in 10-15 minutes. (At the start of the year, car pool dismissal will take a bit longer, as we will be teaching children safety procedures. Carpool should conclude about 4:00. Our emphasis is safety.)

Each parent must have a car pool hang tag displayed on their rearview mirror. A teacher inside the building will call numbers where the students are waiting.  Students will exit the building through the front doors.

Car pool dismissal will begin at approximately 3:45. Parents, who arrive early, should pull over and form one single line and wait in the car.  Children are dismissed by number, in an orderly fashion. Children stand behind safety patrol students who escort them to their cars and help them inside. Children need to enter on the passenger side of your car. All students will be helped into the back passenger seat of your car.

In an instance where your child is unable to fasten or unfasten their seat belt, please pull over after you drive through carpool to help your child. If a child is delayed in exiting the building, an adult will ask you to pull forward when the carpool begins.
