Arrival & Dismissal Procedures
- Patience is key! Please be respectful of all staff and parent volunteers that are directing traffic. When one person does not follow the procedure, it creates confusion and frustration. Let's be examples to all of our beavers.
- The yellow curb lane closest to the school is for drop-off/pick-up only! Drivers may not park and leave their cars.
- If you need help getting your student out, please let one of our staff members know and we can help. Please do not get out of your vehicle.
- Pull ALL the way up WITHOUT moving ahead of any other cars.
- The driveway is a 5 MILE PER HOUR speed zone. Driving at a faster rate of speed endangers ALL of our students.
- When exiting the parking lot, you may turn left OR right.
Parking
Like most schools, our parking is very limited. If you would like to park, you have choices. 😀
- Visitor spots in our main lot, on the street (NOT ON A RED CURB), along the alley way that we share with the parks and rec, as well as the back lot by the park. Please DO NOT park at Orangevale Park and walk over. This is not our parking lot and is for recreational park use only.
- Please DO NOT park or pull into the side lot by Discovery Club at arrival or dismissal. This lot is specifically for Discovery Club parents, After School Care Transportation, and staff.
- Please access our school and your vehicle by use of the crosswalk only.
***The First 7 days***
From August 13-August 21, parents may stay with their students until school starts. Beginning August 24th, please share hugs in the car or at the red line in front of our school and drop your student off. I assure you that our beavers will be ready to have some independence. We have staff supervising our students to ensure safety.
