drop-off and pick-up

procedures

Approach the Drop-Off Zone – Drive west on Foster Ave. toward the school building.
Line Up in a Single File – As you pass the school, merge into the curbside lane and wait in a single-file line. Do not cut in line, double-park, or drop students off across the street (Foster Ave. south side).
Follow Restricted Area Guidelines – The DO NOT EXIT areas extend from the school entrance (by the bike racks) to the corner. Do not allow students to exit in this section.
Use the Designated Drop-Off Point – Continue forward to the neon yellow pedestrian sign marking the official DROP OFF HERE zone. Look for green signage indicating the correct area.
Please Note: Students should be ready to exit quickly and safely.
Students Enter the Building – After exiting, students should proceed directly to the nearest gate off the play yard.
Exit the Drop-Off Zone – Once your student has safely exited, continue driving west on Foster Ave. to keep traffic flowing.
Follow All Updated Signage and Protocols – Adhering to these procedures ensures a smooth and safe drop-off process for all students.

Approach the Pick-Up Zone – Drive west on Foster Ave. toward the school.
Line Up in a Single File – Pull up as far as possible behind the car in front of you and remain in your vehicle.
Wait for Your Child to Be Called – Faculty and staff members will be outside calling students and assisting them into their cars.
Remain in Your Vehicle – Do not exit your car or attempt to pick up your child outside the designated area.
High School Student Dismissal – High school students are dismissed at 3:15 PM. If you are coordinating a carpool, keep this in mind.
7th–12th Grade Departure – Students in grades 7–12 are responsible for leaving the school on their own.
Exit the Pick-Up Zone Safely – Once your child is in the vehicle, drive forward to exit the area, allowing traffic to continue moving efficiently.

Parents stay in car. Attendants are there to help with instruments, closing of doors, etc.
Please have your child ready to exit within designated signage.
Children should exit on right side of car only. The busy traffic lane is unsafe for children to exit into.
Move up in line even after your child(ren) have exited. If there is no room to enter the traffic lane, continue to move up until there is an opening, and help keep drop-off flowing.
Do not cut in. Please be patient, moving up as the line moves, and help keep drop-off and pick-up safe for everyone.
No U-turns, blocking alleyways, blocking bus stops, or crossing Foster outside of a crosswalk.
Do not block bus lane or crosswalk, note the red signs. If space is not available on Foster, please go around the block and try again or park in the neighborhood and walk up to get your student(s).
