🌟CAR LINE SAFETY RULES🌟
Morning procedure:
● Access to the campus is only permitted from 1 point of entry
1. Via NW 1st Court and NW 74th Street
● Do NOT drop off students on NW 2nd Avenue to ensure your child’s safety.
● Drive slowly through the parking lot in a single line/lane.
● Stop and allow for your child to exit the car once a staff member is present.
● Continue to drive and exit through the gate facing NW 2nd Avenue.
● Please drive slowly and be patient.
● Make sure your child has all his or her belongings to ensure a prompt and swift drop off.
● Parents may not exit the car.
● DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES UNLOAD WHILE IN A DOUBLE ROW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE WILL HAVE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY.
● PLEASE ROLL DOWN YOUR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FOR COMMUNICATION PURPOSES. We cannot communicate with a closed window. It is a safety issue.
● All students are directed to exit from the passenger side. We will only make exceptions if you do not have a vehicle with an accessible door on the passenger side.
● Volunteers or Staff will help your child safely exit the vehicle and direct them safely to the building.
● Traffic will be directed to move all at once for safety reasons.
● Do not stop until you are directed to, and please, for safety’s sake, keep your eyes forward.
● Right turn only onto NW 2nd Avenue when leaving campus.
Afternoon procedure:
● TIMING IS EVERYTHING—regardless of when you arrive the earliest the line will move is 2:45pm
● There will be 1 dismissal wave:
• Wave 1: Kinder – 8th Grade 2:45pm
• Families with children in both primary and upper grades will dismiss together at the 2:45pm dismissal group. Aftercare fees may apply for those not picked up by the end of the dismissal (3:15 pm)
● Access to the campus is only permitted from 1 point of entry
1. Via NW 1st Court and NW 74th Street
● WE WILL BE DISTRIBUTING FAMILY #’s WHICH MUST BE CLEARLY DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR.
● Please do not arrive before 2:00pm on regular release days. We have nowhere to put all the cars so if you arrive earlier than 2:00pm you are creating a potential hazard.
● A volunteer will bring your child safely to the vehicle. Children must buckle up on their own; parents may not exit the vehicle.
● If your child is not loading during the stop of the car line, please do not panic or become frustrated, you will be directed to a holding area. Even if your child is standing next to the teacher or aide, we cannot stop the line once in motion. Simply park and we will radio for your child if needed and then escort your child safely to you. This will ensure that the maximum numbers of students are safely loading during each stop of the carline. Additional stops are dangerous and will not be allowed.
● We reserve the right to refuse to load a child into your vehicle if there is no seat belt available or we observe a dangerous situation. Be sure if you are carpooling, that your vehicle is equipped with enough seatbelts for every child.
● When directed, resume driving and exit the campus. Passing other vehicles is prohibited.
