***Car RIder Information-New This Year***
New this year…Drop-off and Pick-up will be in the back lot at the gym entrance. Please follow the arrows on the map when entering the car rider line for both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Staff will be stationed at the designated unloading area to help students safely exit their vehicles. For safety, students should always exit on the passenger side onto the walkway. Please make sure your child is ready to exit the vehicle when you pull up. This will help keep traffic flowing and avoid any back up traffic.
All families should use the car rider line during arrival and dismissal. The front entrance is reserved for buses only during these times. Vehicles should not enter or park in the areas marked in red on the map.
This is a new traffic pattern for the school year. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as everyone learns the new routine. Our goal is to keep traffic moving while providing a safe arrival and dismissal for all students, while also allowing Coulston Lane to be accessible to the nearby residents. Thank you for helping us keep our Coulston Comets safe!
