Carline Drop off in morning:
Always enter on Berendo St. gate only. Follow cones and directions of traffic safety guards. Be careful for children crossing or playing. There is only one exit out the gate open that leads to 161st St. Parking area is designated below. Those families with young children or people with disabilities may be directed to the handicap parking for easy access to the office or school building, so they can avoid crossing the street using a designated crosswalk. Kindergarten and First grade students must be dropped off and picked up at the Kindergarten and 1st grade classroom by an adult. Students may not be left at the gate or in the parking lot to walk to class alone if they are in Kindergarten or first grade for safety reasons. Please adhere to specific directions given by your child's classroom teacher.
Carline Pick up in afternoon:
Always enter on Berendo St. gate only. Follow cones and directions of traffic safety guards. Be careful for pedestrians crossing. Kindergarten and first grade students will stay in the classroom. Kinder and first grade Parents and guardians must park in the designated parking spot (guided by the traffic guards) and will always use crosswalks to pick up children. NEVER leave your car unattended with or without engine running and NEVER exit your car if you are in the carline pickup. The classroom teacher will walk your child over to you and open the passenger side door for safety and to keep the flow of traffic moving in a timely manner. It is recommended that carseats for school children are placed on the right hand side for easy entrance and safety during carline.Families and carpools will sit together. Older siblings/carpool mates will meet their younger siblings/carpool mates at their classroom’s designated pickup area. The older students will not enter classrooms but will remain seated. On rainy days, pull as close as you can to the breezeway so children do not get wet. Students will remain seated on their benches behind the cones.
You may exit out of any of the 3 gates as directed, but you MUST follow guards and the normal flow of traffic. Please do not speed. 5 mph is the maximum in our parking lot.
If you must park for any reason, please go around the cones, never cut through, and park near the first crosswalk closest to the church on the opposite side of cones. Guards will direct you. Park only in the designated areas and ALWAYS use crosswalks. There are 2: one by the elementary and one by the junior high. SAFETY FIRST PLEASE. Thank you for your cooperation.
NOTE: If students ride a bike, walk home, or ride the bus to and from school, parents/guardians must sign a waiver form, to release school of liability once the student leaves school property. For safety reasons, students may not leave campus until all gates are closed and carline is finished.
*After 4pm, all visitors must enter through the gates on Berendo
