Family IDs: Your child will be given a color coded card with their family ID on it. The color corresponds to their drop off and pick up area. Your Family ID Card with your Driveline number must be displayed in your car window when you enter the parking lot. *If you do not bring your family ID card, please have your Driver’s License ready to show a staff member so we can verify your identity and ensure you are an authorized person to pick up.

Early Dismissal for Students: Students leaving campus before the end of the day must be picked up by 2:30pm. No student will be released past this time because it interferes with our regular pick up duties that begin at 3:00pm. Any family arriving past 2:30 pm must wait to pick up at their regular time.

8:00-8:15 AM, Morning Procedures (Load-In and Drop-Off)

Load-In: Cars may enter the parking lot at 8:05 AM. Form two lanes flowing in the same direction. If you miss your zone or need to avoid blocking traffic, circle the building again. Supervision at doors begins at 8:15 AM, please do not let children out of the car before this time.
Drop-Off: All grades drop off between 8:15 AM and 8:30 AM. Do not arrive before 8:00 AM, as the lot is closed until then and early arrivals can back up traffic on adjacent streets.
One-Way Traffic: Follow the one-way flow around the school. Look for colored zone signs at the front, side, and rear to identify the correct drop-off area. Pull forward as far as possible to make room for cars behind you.
Ready to Exit: Have students and their belongings prepared to exit from the driver’s side when the car stops. Remain in your vehicle, and do not hold conversations with staff at this time.
Safety First: Use extreme caution when pulling away, and drive slowly. If you need to park and walk, use street parking only and walk your child across the designated crosswalk.
Zones: Use your designated zone for drop off

RED ZONE First grade (Perez, Lagarde), Second grade (Torralba) and fourth grade classes

Drop your child off at the front of the school. Find the RED ZONE signs and pull out of the traffic line and into the pullout area.
