Guidelines for Vehicle Pickup
- The school will provide all families with magnetic signage to be displayed on their passenger side door during pickup.
- Pull all the way forward in Circle Drive and along Webster Avenue for pickup.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended in Circle Drive or on Webster Avenue for any amount of time, for any reason.
- There is no parking in Circle Drive for security reasons.
- Only take a right turn to go north on Clark Street from Circle Drive. No left turns allowed.
- During pickup, follow the traffic directions of the uniformed officers and school personnel.
- Never block alleys or driveways.
Guidelines for Pedestrian Pickup
- The pedestrian line begins at the corner of Clark and Webster.
- If you are participating in pickup on foot, you must wear a mask and keep at least six feet physical distance between yourself and others.
- Please hold up the car magnets with your child’s name or make your own sign to hold up with your child’s full name, grade and classroom teacher. There will be adults who are ready to bring your children to you.
- After your child is picked up, please continue moving to avoid crowding in these locations.
- Never Cross in the Middle—under no circumstances can we have ANY OF THE ADULTS (teachers included) cross the street in the middle to load or unload the students. They can only cross the street at the protected crosswalks on the corner.
- Alert a staff member with a walkie-talkie when you arrive so they may assist in retrieving your student.
- During pickup, follow the traffic directions of the officers and school personnel.
