Drop Off and Pick Up
Transportation and Parking
We have one bus from First Student providing transportation. The bus picks up/drops off students at the church on Humboldt St. Please refer to the bus schedule from First Student if your child takes the bus.
Our parking lot can be extremely efficient and safe when parking lot etiquette is followed by all. Please use the main parking lot for dropping off your children; it is supervised and the safest option. You may enter the parking lot from Bermuda Drive, drop off your child in the drop-off zone and circle back around to exit on Bermuda Drive. We have a drop off lane that we encourage everyone to use appropriately. Do not park in the drop off zones or in the red zones. Please make sure that students are ready to jump out of the car quickly in the morning. This means that they should already have their coats on, backpacks ready and please have them exit the car on the sidewalk side of the car. It is extremely dangerous for students to exit on the traffic side of the car. Please drive to the end of the loading zone! This way we can fit in as many cars
as possible and there is no long line of cars hanging out in the middle of the intersection. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and for your positive attitude at drop-off time. Do not double park in the loading zone and please do not have students get into cars in the middle of the parking lot – this is extremely dangerous! It is important we all set a good example for our students so that can learn the proper conduct in the parking lot.
Do not park in the corner shopping center, those spaces are reserved for customers and cars will be towed away if used for school parking. Thank you for parking respectfully in our neighborhood and walking in with your students.
We ask that you please be respectful of our neighbors. U-turns on Bermuda Drive or using driveways to turn around are not appreciated by homeowners. Police have expressed concern about dropping children off on 19th Avenue entrance so we ask that you please park your car and walk your student to the entrance. The back entrance is not supervised.
Bicycles
We request that only children in Grades 1 through 5 be permitted to ride their bicycles to school. There is to be NO BIKE RIDING AND NO SKATEBOARDS ON THE SCHOOL GROUNDS.
When riding bicycles to school, students are to walk their bikes to the designated parking areas upon arriving at ANY ENTRANCE to the school grounds. Children who ride bikes to school must obey all traffic rules, give signals, look before turning, not ride on sidewalks, and walk bikes across streets. Students must wear helmets!
Pick Up
We have experienced difficulty with the large windows on the walkway down the middle of our school. Students who see their parents quit working with the teacher. We can not afford to waste valuable instructional minutes. Please wait by the playground so that the children are not disrupted. We would greatly appreciate your help with this.
