    NRE Carpool General Procedures & Traffic Pattern

    Our carpool system is designed to offer safe and efficient dismissal of students who are picked up daily in private vehicles.  Carpool registration can be completed during Meet the Teacher (at the beginning of the school year) and/or in the front office. Each family registered for carpool will receive 2 carpool tags. 

    Carpool numbers are used to identify parents as they arrive and to call students from the waiting area. We ask all parents who drive to school to participate in the carpool system. Due to traffic backups, we ask that you respect the following guidelines to make carpool safe and efficient for all.

    Carpool General Procedures:

    • Students must be dropped off and/or picked up in the carpool unloading/loading zone in front of the school. 
    • Please pull all the way down in the carpool unloading/loading zone as directed by the staff. All students will be unloaded/loaded from the passenger side for safety.
    • Parents should remain in the car at all times.
    • In the morning, students may be dropped off between 8:45-9:14 a.m. in the carpool lane.
    • Students arriving after 9:15 must be signed in (the office) by the person dropping them off. Please bring your ID with you.
    • Afternoon carpool will run from 3:45 - 4:10 pm.
    • Please make sure you have your carpool number decal hanging/hooked on your rearview mirror. This will allow the carpool number recorder to enter your carpool number into the system. 
    • Please do not skip/pass other cars in carpool. This will cause your child not to be outside at the correct spot and delay the carpool process.
    • Parents will not be allowed to walk up to the carpool dismissal door to pick up/check out a student(s). This is a security and safety concern. You will be asked to go to the front office to check out your student. 
    • Please drive slowly and do not use cell phones in the carpool line. 
    • Please be patient and understanding. 

    Carpool Traffic Pattern:

    • Carpool Map 
    • Enter the carpool loop from Staghorn Lane by making a right into the main entrance of the school.
    • Follow the road (right line) toward the back of the school and go around the circular loop.
    • Continue straight toward the front of the school and form a single line.
    • Be prepared to stop at the pedestrian crossings.
    • Cars will be stopped in the unloading/loading zone designated by staff. Students will unload/load on the PASSENGER SIDE ONLY.
    • After exiting the unloading/loading zone, proceed straight and exit campus by making a left or right on Harps Mill Road. 

    All parents are asked to consistently follow the school’s carpool and dismissal procedures. Consistent procedures allow for orderly, efficient, and safe entry and dismissal of all students.
