Carpool & Drop-off

PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND FOLLOW THE CROSSING GUARDS' DIRECTIONS: We have small children at this school, and you can not always see them from your car!

 

CARPOOL/DROP-OFF:           NO LEFT TURNS INTO ML TURN-AROUND ALLOWED!
Morning:
Heading North, we have a Drop-Off lane on Candler Park Drive across from the school - in front of the Candler Park Golf Course. Volunteer Crossing Guards are always posted to help children cross the street.
Heading South, parents may drop off students in the turn-around in front of the school. This can be time-consuming for parents as buses are also dropping off students in this single lane.

Afternoon:
Heading North, parents must park and walk to the school to get their children.
Heading South, parents must wait until all buses and after-care programs have loaded their students before moving slowly through the turn-around.

  • If you are picking up a student who walks home, please help us by standing on the traffic circle pavement until the students are safely on the sidewalk in front of the school.
  • The carpool lane will proceed forward around 2:40. Please wait for an adult to signal the start of the carpool line.

We encourage everyone to walk/bike to school everyday for health!
