Most of our students do take the bus to and from school. It is important that students do ride the assigned bus and use the assigned stop. This bus information can be obtained by working with our school registrar.

Some of our parents wish to drop students off in the morning. Parents dropping off their students should enter off South Carolina Ave and come to the Southside of the building. (This is the side closest to Stryker Village.) Students will enter thought the main doors. Parents should then proceed by following the drive to the right and exiting out Stryker Village. Parents picking up their students are asked to park on the Southside of the building. If needed, parents may form a single line in the drive. Please try and provide enough room for cars to pass on your right. We have anticipated a greater number of parents wishing to pick up their children and have opened a second pick up lane in the parking lot area for parents of our 8th grade students and their siblings. Extreme caution is always needed when driving around the school as students will be walking in this area. Areas are closely monitored by staff at arrival and dismissal to assist with student safety.

Dismissal is a very busy time of the school day. If a parent wishes to pick up their child, we ask that they arrive no later than 20 minutes prior to the end of the day.

Arrival Procedures

• Students should not arrive before 7:00 am unless they are eating breakfast in the cafeteria.
• Students eating breakfast may go to the cafeteria at 7:00 am.
• Students may enter the building at 7:00 am
• Children arriving after 7:25 am are tardy and must report to the office for a pass.

Parking and Student Drop-off/Pick-up Policy

Parking is permitted in designated areas only. It is important to note and follow traffic patterns at all times.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

• Never drop-off students while stopped in the middle of passing traffic lanes.
• Pay attention to the teachers and the students performing crosswalk guard duty, and follow their commands.
• Drive forward all the way to the end of loading/unloading zone or to the car parked in front of you.
• Make sure your children have their things prepared in advance for unloading. This will help us to speed up the process.
• As soon as you are parked and are between LOADING/UNLOADING ZONE signs, quickly load/unload students.
• Do not block the pedestrian crosswalk.
• Load/unload the students on the passenger side of the vehicle.
• Please yield to the vehicles passing on your right when you are pulling out after the drop-off.

Bicycle Racks

Students must place their bicycles in slots on a school provided bicycle rack. Students are not to leave their bicycles on the ground or park them in front of the exit doors. Students should not take up more than one space for their bicycle. Students are strongly encouraged to lock up their bicycles. The school is not liable for missing or stolen bicycles.

Walkers

Due to the heavy traffic on Screaming Eagle Blvd., we will not allow students to cross this busy road without an adult chaperone. Walkers should exit the building with car riders and wait for staff to assist them in crossing the pickup area.
