Drop & Go and Parking

Drop & Go Reminders 

When dropping off children in this Drop & Go area, please be considerate of the success factors below:

  • Enter the Drop & Go loop from Hoover drive, veer right to the outside curb lane (past the staff parking entrance) and proceed to the curb lane adjacent to the JK/SK play area.
  • Pull your car as far forward as possible before stopping to discharge children; this might include passing other vehicles to find the open spaces near the front.
  • At 8:45am – once Teacher Supervision is available in the school yard, a Parent Volunteer will move the pylons across the Drop & Go entrance (below the exit ramp on the east side of the parking lot) to open the Drop & Go, and direct vehicles into the curb lane
  • Vehicles will be waved down the lane so as many vehicles as possible can drop off at once.  Five or six cars can transfer students at the same time; watch for directions from the Parent Volunteers.
  • Discharge children from the passenger side of the car only, so they will not have to cross the driveway in front of traffic.
  • Remain in the driver’s seat; have backpack ready on child’s lap or on the floor of the car. Parent Volunteers will assist with car doors.
  • Keep goodbyes brief; other drivers will be waiting behind you to discharge children.
  • Only volunteers will approach vehicles. They will ask the student’s grade and walk them to the appropriate school yard entrance.
  • Note: Student volunteers (wearing a visible safety vest) may also be asked to walk students to the appropriate school yard to expedite the process.

Please note that access to the Parking Lot in the afternoons will not be available until after 3pm for children to be picked up. 

Staff Parking

Parking spaces are very limited – only staff members are allowed access! Parents wanting to park for any reason (i.e., drop off child(ren) with a large project, volunteering, sporting events, meeting with the teachers, etc.) are encouraged to park on the side streets that surround the school.

The above practices ensure the safe arrival of our students and an efficient drop off.  We thank you in advance, for your continued support.
