Driving and Parking Procedures

We know that 10mph can feel slow to a driver who is also rushing to get to work, and the safety of all of our children is our priority! We are working with our transportation department to establish speed limits for our parking lots and will have signs posted soon. Please follow these procedures in our parking lot at all times.



  • West Parking Lot (Morning Hug & Go): Reserved for staff parking and 1st–4th grade morning drop-offs; drivers must pull all the way forward to the big tree, stay in their vehicle, have students exit curbside, and make a right-turn-only exit onto W 37th Street.


  • East Parking Lot (Morning Hug & Go): Provides visitor parking and designated drop-offs for Kindergarten and 5th-grade students; adults may exit briefly to unbuckle Kindergarteners, but drivers needing extra time must park in the lot/street and use crosswalks to walk students to their classroom.


  • Afternoon Pick-Up: Dismissal is at 3:10 pm across designated locations—Kindergarten on the east drop-off side, 1st and 2nd grade at their classroom doors, and 3rd–5th grade in the east pick-up area or play pad.


  • Front Parking Lot: Restricted to staff and visitors between 8:15 am and 3:00 pm, with no morning drop-offs or afternoon pick-ups allowed.


  • Front Bus Lot: Strictly reserved for school buses at all times from 7:30 am to 3:30 pm.


  • Additional Safety Notes: Drivers must obey traffic rules, follow staff directives, park only in marked East lot spaces, accompany children to and from vehicles, and avoid the designated PTA winner space in front of the school.
