Car Rider Procedure
Car Rider Arrival
Enter the driveway between Mintonye and Southwestern and follow the driveway behind the school. The first vehicle to arrive will drive along the sidewalk on the east side of the building and stop at the corner. Other cars will stay in line behind the first car.
Please yield for buses traveling to Mintonye from Southwestern. We will have 2 side-by-side lines allowable in order to prevent backup onto County Road 800 South (see map).
At 8:15am, staff members will exit the building and signal for the first group of cars in the drop off zone to release their children. Children are to exit from the right/passenger side of the vehicle onto the sidewalk and enter Door A1 (marked with the blue star on the map below). Vehicles will yield for buses, and exit the property out the east driveway onto County Road 800 South.
The double lines will zipper-merge as they enter a single line in the drop off zone. Vehicles need to pull all the way forward until a line of cars are stopped in the drop-off zone before releasing children. The procedures continue until the last car has unloaded.
We hope to have all cars unloaded no later than 8:30. If you arrive after 8:30 and staff are no longer outside, you will have to park in front of the building and walk your student to the main entrance to sign-in at the office.
Car Rider Dismissal
Enter the driveway between Mintonye and Southwestern and follow the driveway behind the school. Cones will be blocking access in the driveway behind the school for recess. Please stop prior to the cones. Once the cones are removed by a staff member, the first car may pull forward and drive along the sidewalk of the east side of the building and stop at the corner of the east side and front of the building. Other cars will stay in line behind the first car.
Behind the pickup zone, cars may be in 2 side-by-side lines and zipper-merge into a single line when entering the pickup zone (see map below).
At 3:00pm, staff members will exit the building and begin calling students outside to enter their vehicles. Children will exit Door A1, walk down the sidewalk, and enter their vehicles on the passenger side.
Vehicles need to pull all the way forward until a line of cars are stopped in the pickup zone before stopping to pick up children.
These procedures will continue until the last car has loaded.
We hope to have all cars loaded no later than 3:15pm.
