DROP OFF/PICK UP
Just to review our procedures...

Drop Off 
7:45-8:00 
Please do not drop your child off prior to 7:45 as there is no supervision in the parking lot or on the playground until 7:45.  Please pull all the way forward to either the stop sign or the car parked in front of you to drop off your child.

Pick Up 
3:15 Lower School 
3:20 Upper School 
Pick up is only in the far right lane.  There are only 2 lanes of traffic, 1 for pick up and 1 to exit. Please remember that Upper School is released from class at 3:20 so they will probably not be outside right at 3:20. If your child is not available at the time you are picking up we will ask you to go around.  You may pull into the exit lane from the pick up lane once you have picked up your child.

Crosswalk 
Please make sure to use the crosswalk that is on the east side of our parking lot.
