• Use the RIGHT lane to drop off students.
• DO NOT cut into the right lane in front of the building.
• The first car in line must drive to and stop at the main entrance.
• The following cars should stop closely behind those in front.
• Do NOT stop at the Middle School entrance unless the lane is full in front of you.
• Once students exit the vehicle, drivers may merge into the left lane to exit.
• Do not drop off students from the left lane.

Longer student drop-offs (i.e. student permit drivers, those unloading multiple items) should utilize the visitor parking spots. All others must use the drop-off lane, not the parking lot.

It only takes an extra 30 seconds to use the drop-off lanes and ensure our students’ safety.

• Use both lanes all of the way through the pick-up zone.
• Utilize all available right-lane curb space in the pick-up zone to allow students to enter the vehicle. The pick-up zone stretches from staff parking to the soccer field. See diagram below.
• Park in the parking lot if your student is not ready to leave when you arrive OR if the right lane is completely full.
• Do not pick up students from the left lane.

Heed directions to proceed or stop at crosswalks. Drive slowly through the carpool lanes in front of the building, and use caution when merging.

Never use cellphones while driving on campus. This exposes drivers and pedestrians to unnecessary risks. Our students are walking through the lot and crossing the drive.

Carpool is busiest from 7:40–7:50 a.m. If you arrive before 7:40 a.m., your wait time will be minimal.
