Parking Lot Safety

"Stop, Drop & Go" Drop Off Procedures (9:15-9:30 am)

Allow adequate time to find parking or when using the Stop, Drop and Go Program. We need to ensure everyone's safety in the parking lot and there have been a few close calls.

Please help the attendant(s) facilitate a smooth & continuous drop-off every morning.

  1. Cars must ENTER on 41st Avenue/Ortega and EXIT on 40th Avenue/Ortega.
  2. There is no supervision for your child before 9:15 am. Please do not drop your child off at school before 9:15 am unless they are eating breakfast at 9:05 am.
  3. Please wait in the designated drop-off lane and allow your child to exit the car only at the main school entrance where an attendant will help them out of the car.
  4. DO NOT drive around the drop-off lane and drop off your child in the fire lane near the back gate.
  5. Make sure your child has their things ready to go to exit the car promptly when the attendant opens the door.
  6. For your child’s safety, children need to exit on the school side of the car.
  7. Parents should not exit the car.
  8. Once your child has exited the car and it is safe to move forward, please do so. This will help keep the line moving quickly.
