CAR LINE PROCEDURES


Morning/Afternoon Car Line & Supervision

Enter by the church driveway on Orange Grove Blvd., staying in the right lane. Do not block the church exit lane or the rectory garage.  Please stay alert, drive slowly, and follow the directions of the school staff. Stay in your car and don’t pull out of the line. To insure the safety of the children and staff.


  • Pick up for Grades K-4 wait on the right at the lunch benches. 

  • Grades 5-8 wait on the left. 


Once the children are safely in place, the barricades are removed and the line proceeds. Once your children are in the car, drive slowly through the yard and out the Sierra Madre Blvd. gate. The remaining students will be taken to Gator Club.  Please note that the teachers legally cannot strap or fasten carseats or seatbelts for the children.  If needed, you may pull up to the very front of carline to exit your car and fasten your child’s seatbelt. 


Dismissal in Hot or Rainy Weather 


In bad weather, Gator kids will be dismissed to Gator before the gates are opened.  The remaining children and teachers will stand on the breezeway outside of their classroom.  Parents will enter the school yard and follow the barricades. The carline is adjusted to pass in front of the classrooms on these days.  Parents will pull up to their child’s room and students will enter the car there.  Older siblings must head down to the younger sibling’s classroom for pick up.  When this procedure is necessary, everyone must exercise care in parking and driving. Students not picked up by the end of carline will be taken to Gator Club. 


BEFORE SCHOOL PROCEDURE

7:45 to 7:55 a.m. is the normal arrival time for students. The gates are locked at 8:00 a.m. and opened at dismissal. Enter by the front door or from behind Msgr. Crean Hall when the gates are locked. Bring late arriving students to the office for a tardy slip.
