Arrival & Dismissal

Arrival

If your child is a morning car rider, please note that left turns into the parking lot from 175th Street are not permitted—this entrance is reserved for buses only. Once you enter the lot, make an immediate left and follow the arrows through the designated car line. Drop-off occurs along the front sidewalk, and students should walk to their grade-level entrance from there.

Dismissal

For afternoon dismissal, car riders should enter the parking lot and follow the arrows through the designated route. Please stop on the painted lines and do not pull forward until all buses have pulled away. Once the buses have left, cars may proceed down the lane in front of the school to pick up students along the front sidewalk.

Walkers

Student walkers are not permitted to use the east side of the building, as there is no adult supervision in that area. Students coming to or from 175th Street from the east should use the east sidewalk to reach their designated grade-level door, while students coming from the west should use the west sidewalk. This also prevents students from walking across the parking lot entrance and exit, where vehicle traffic is heavy during arrival and dismissal.
