Thank you for your cooperation with our pick up and drop off lane efforts. Drop off in the morning is going smoothly, and the pick-up procedure is slowly improving. We timed the line for 3 days in a row we had the entire line finished by 4:12 so we know it is working.
Here are some tips that will help with the flow:
1-Use the ACE expectations as set a good example for your child. Be accountable and make a plan with your child for pick-up. Be considerate of the volunteers (this is not a fun job). Volunteer to assist the PTO in the future to help with the double parking out front. If most families use the pick-up lane, we can avoid the double parking in the front. Make a generous donation to our upcoming Capital Campaign so we can move to a more desirable location in the future. Please don't complain about the procedure unless you have a better suggestion. Say thank you to the parent volunteer parents who are assisting and addressing the problem.
2-Discuss the pick-up procedure with your child. Do they know who is picking up? Do they understand the importance of going straight to the pick-up lane? If you are asked to circle around because your child is slow to arrive at the pick-up lane, please be considerate and do so. If you have older children, you might want to consider arriving at 4:10 for pick up rather that right a 4:00. Some families have already made this plan-THANKS!
3-Pull all the way forward as far as you are able before loading your carpool.
4-Load from the right side of the car in order to avoid students walking into the bypass lane.
5-As soon as you have your carpool loaded, pull out into the bypass lane to exit to Roosevelt. This makes space for those waiting in line behind you.
6-We do not have permission to park at the church in the spaces nearest their building (only those spaces adjacent to our fence line). We do have an agreement for the drive through lane in the morning and afternoon. Please do not park in the spaces we use for the drive lanes between 3:15 and 4:15 PM or 7:30 and 8:15 AM. However, if you are volunteering for just a short time that will not interfere with our traffic procedures, please feel free to park in the spaces adjacent to our fence line only between the hours of 8:15 and 3:15 IF you are not blocking access to the church food pantry (small white shed).
