Safety Information

VISITOR PROCEDURES: In order to maintain a safe campus for your child, all gates to the campus will be closed and/or locked during school hours. If you need to come on campus during school hours, please sign in at the front office and put on a visitor’s badge. All visitors and volunteers during school hours need to enter and exit the campus through the office.

PARKING LOT SAFETY:

For the first week or so of school, traffic around the neighborhood and in the parking lot can be a bit chaotic, but we have a system that works quite efficiently once everyone learns and follows the guidelines detailed below. Take note that on early release Fridays (1:00) and rainy days, traffic can be more congested, so please plan to arrive early so you aren’t flustered looking for a parking spot.

 

In order to keep everyone safe, we must insist that you follow the directional instructions of our Student Safety Patrol officers and staff members.

 

 

Morning Drop Off

·         If you plan to use the horseshoe portion of the front parking lot to drop off your child in the morning, please use the far right lane and pull forward as far as you can.

·         Students should be ready to exit quickly on the passenger side of the car.

·         Parents should stay behind the steering wheel so we can keep traffic moving quickly and safely.  

·         If your family needs more time to say good bye or to gather school belongings, please park your car on the street or in the parking lot and walk your child in.

·         You may NOT park at any time along the red curb in the front of the school, whether you stay in your car or not.

·         In both the morning and afternoon, parking along the red curb in front of the administration building is reserved for childcare vans and school buses only.

 

 

Afternoon dismissal

·         Parents of first through fifth grade students may use the “drive through” service in the horseshoe, but we need you to stay with your car so we can keep the line moving forward

·         Kindergarten parents need to park in the lot or on the street and walk to the gates to reunite with their child. Kindergarten parents should not park and leave their car in the horseshoe.

·         If you want to meet your child at the school gates, you need to arrive early enough to get a spot in the lot or park on the street and walk in.

·         Many parents choose to avoid our parking lot traffic and pick up their child at the High Country West Country Club or some other alternative meeting site.

 

Your cooperation and courtesy are greatly appreciated. The safety of your child is our #1 priority!
