Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures

Car Riders

East Door (by turnabout): All vehicles enter from Hemlock Drive and turn right into the Car Rider Lane, using Mrs. Prete Street in front of the school. Pull all the way up to the car in front of you. Remain in the car. Do not exit the lane to pass another car. Students will load and unload on sidewalk side only, entering Door 8 by the turnabout. Leaving the turnabout is a right turn only onto Hemlock Drive. 

Walkers

West Door (by small playground): All walkers will enter and exit through Door 16 by the small playground equipment. 

Bus Riders

Main Entrance (front office): All bus riders will use Door 1 to and from the Bus Lot. To exit, Larkspur Lane is used to avoid traffic heading into pedestrians and the vehicle waiting line. 

Other Arrivals/Departures

Main Entrance (front office) Students participating in a morning club, arriving late, or being picked up early will use Door 1. 

Ivy League

Door 2 (gymnasium): Students taking part in the before/after school program will enter and exit Door 2 by the gym. Every child, on a daily basis, should know if they are a “car rider,” “bus rider,” or “walker.”
