For those of you returning to school for first time this year, please take time to review the arrival and dismissal procedures below!
K-2 Guidelines:
Carpool - Drop off is located in the front of the school on Candler Park Drive. To get there, you must turn Right on Candler Park Dr. from North Ave. Those in Lake Claire will need to turn down Oakdale to reach North Ave. DO NOT MAKE A U-TURN on Candler Park Drive, as it is dangerous and there will be many cars and pedestrians. (see blue path on map). Children must be able to get themselves out of the car and exit on the right hand side of the vehicle. Staff members will not be able to open doors or unbuckle kids.
Park & walk - For carpool families whose children can’t get themselves out of the car. Coming from McClendon, parents can park on Candler Park Drive up until Benning Pl., or on Benning Pl. (see purple areas on map).
Walkers/bikers - Students will enter in front of school. Parents, please say your good-byes on the sidewalk or before the edge of the newly installed sunshade. The platform directly in front of the school should remain clear and congestion-free.
3-5 Guidelines:
Carpool - Drop off is located in the back of the school (traditional “bus ramp” area). To get there, you must turn Right on Candler Park Dr. from North Ave. Those in Lake Claire will need to turn down Oakdale to reach North Ave. DO NOT ATTEMPT A LEFT TURN in the parking lot. (see blue path on map). Children must be able to get themselves out of the car and exit on the right hand side of the vehicle. Staff members will not be able to open doors or unbuckle kids.
Park & walk - The purple areas on the map are for K-2 park & walk. Please do not park in these areas for 3-5 park & walk.
Walkers/bikers - Students will enter in the back of school and must come up the PATH. DO NOT attempt to enter via the bus ramp because this ramp has no sidewalks and is not a safe walking path.
What do I do if I have kids in both grade bands?
If you have children in K-2 and 3-5, follow the K-2 guidelines for ALL children. Older siblings will be able to escort their younger siblings into the building and leave with them at dismissal.
