Parking Lot Etiquette

PARKING LOT ETIQUETTE

CARLINE
  • This is our preferred method for parents to use to drop off and pick up their students. The procedure moves relatively quickly when parents arrive at their scheduled pick up time.
      • Scheduled Pick Up Times
      • Preschool: Arrive to school before 3:05pm
      • TYKE - 3: Arrive to school between 2:35* - 3:00pm. *Cars will not be allowed into the back parking lot to line up for carline until 2:40pm due to PE class using the blacktop.
      • 4th - 8th: Arrive to school no earlier than 3:05pm. Students in these grade levels do not dismiss from their class until 3:10 and families with only students in the younger grades would have already cleared out of the parking lot.
      • Across Grade Level Groups: If you have multiple students in both TYKE-3 and in 4th - 8th, please arrive at the later time.
  • CROSS WALKS
    • Students must be accompanied by an adult while in the parking lot and when crossing at an unsupervised crosswalk.
    • Once carline is in motion, do not stop the flow of traffic or race across between the gaps of cars. For safety, we ask walkers to wait to cross until carline has stopped for that round.

 

  • MME RESERVED PARKING
    • The parking spots along the front of the school are reserved for those families who have won the bid for that spot. Winning bidders are entitled to a reserved parking spot for the entire school year. We need your cooperation in respecting these spaces. The parking spaces are reserved for the winning bidders from 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. every weekday.

 

  • LOADING & UNLOADING
    • The green parking space closest to the front office is for a quick drop-off, pick-up or visit to the school office.
    • This space is not for use during the morning or afternoon carline drop off and pick up time frame.

 

  • PARKING SPACES DRIVEWAY #1 (west side of the flowered walkway)
    • During normal school Drop Off and Pick Up hours, the parking spaces within this lane are for families dropping off a preschool student. These families do not have the option of dropping off their student to walk independently to a crosswalk and get to class. Therefore, we ask families not dropping off a preschool student to refrain from using those parking spaces.

 

  • DRIVEWAYS
    • Please do not stop in the driveways (parking lanes) in the front parking lot to let your child(ren) out of the car. This not only causes backup in the lanes, it is unsafe to have students walking through the parking lot while cars are moving. Students must be accompanied at all times in the parking lot.

 

  • PARENT WAITING AREA
    • Parents must wait outside the orange cones while waiting to pick up their student at dismissal. Please do not approach or wait by the curb where the students sit with their class. This is for the safety of your children.
    • Please do not wait for and/or pick up your children from the area near the security guard station. Please wait behind the orange cones.

 

Please be courteous and respectful to other parents and staff in what we say and what we do.
