STUDENTS ARE NEVER TO EXIT/ENTER ON THE DRIVERS/TRAFFIC SIDE, IN THE PASSING LANE OR ACCESS THE BACK OF THE CAR WHILE IN THE CIRCLE.

- Drivers are required to remain in the vehicle at all times and follow the lane closest to the curb to the top of the circle, or until traffic is fully stopped immediately in front of them to allow more vehicles to enter the circle.

Morning: Staggered Arrival will move quickly; DO NOT PASS other vehicles during arrival.

Use common sense when granting your child permission to exit the vehicle; if students in the vehicle in front of you just closed the car door, chances are the line will start moving again.

Afternoon: Staggered Dismissal will require vehicles to pass within the traffic circle, please look for direction form the dismissal crew. Drivers must always be aware of the other cars in the circle and move forward when space becomes available to allow waiting cars to enter the circle. No one should exit the vehicle during dismissal times.

It’s important that drivers wait in the parking lot when they arrive early.

Remember to turn off your car while waiting in the circle.

Best for the student who needs to access the back of the vehicle for larger belongings: sports bags, skis/snowboard, musical instruments, class projects, etc. Any access to the car that requires a student to move to the back of the vehicle, another person to get out of the car, or will take extra time must be done within the safety of the parking lot.

Best for families that are more comfortable walking their child to the front doors of the school. This applies even if the adult walking them in is not the driver.

Best for touching base with other parents.
