ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
Students are asked NOT to arrive at school prior to 7:00AM. Please note that students arriving before 7:00AM are not supervised and are in violation of the school policy. This policy is for the safety of our students.
MORNING DROP OFF
The Van Ness Avenue gate will be open each morning until 7:55AM. At 7:55AM, the Van Ness gate will be closed and locked. Parents arriving after 8:00AM to drop off students, must park in the church parking lot and walk/escort your child(ren) to the front door.
AFTERNOON PICK-UP
At the end of each school day, the procedure for picking up your child(ren) will be the same as the morning arrival. Parents may either drive in through school grounds to pick up their child(ren) or either park their car in the church parking lot and walk in to pick up students who will be waiting by the orange cones on school grounds. At 3:15 p.m., any students waiting to be picked up will be sent to Daycare. (See appendix for applicable fees).
The Van Ness Avenue gate will be opened 10-15 minutes before the end of each school day (2:45PM on regular school days and 12:20PM on early dismissal days). The Van Ness gate will be closed and locked 15 minutes after the end of each school day (3:15PM on regular school days and 12:45PM on early dismissal days). Parents arriving after this gate is locked must park in the church parking lot and walk to the school grounds to escort your child(ren) back to their vehicle.
HEAVY RAINY DAY SCHEDULE
On Heavy Rainy Days only, please use the Van Ness Avenue gate (next to the convent) to enter the schoolyard to drive in or park in the school parking lot. Students will wait in their classrooms or near the exit doors to be picked up. Please exit through the church gate next to the rectory.
Please Note: Parking on church and school premises during school hours is at owner's risk. The church and school assume no responsibility for damages to vehicles or theft of possessions.
For the safety of ALL students, teachers, and parents, please observe the following:
- The Van Ness Avenue gate between the school and the convent is an ENTRANCE ONLY gate and will be closed daily at 7:55AM.
- DO NOT STOP near the school building, lunch room, or social hall to drop off your child(ren)! All vehicles MUST PULL FORWARD PASS the basketball courts where parents will wait for a teacher or parent or school/safety guard to escort your child through the traffic lanes.
- The 135th Street gate northeast of the church (next to the rectory) is an EXIT ONLY gate.
- The Van Ness Avenue gate next to the church is an EXIT ONLY gate. This is a RIGHT TURN ONLY gate and all City of Gardena traffic laws will apply.
Please note: The school ENTRANCE and EXIT gates are closed and locked during school hours, therefore, any parent needing to take care of school business in the office, must park their vehicle in the church parking lot to avoid being locked in.
