Carpool Procedure

Please hang your carpool tag from the rearview mirror with the number facing out.  This helps us more quickly identify you and help your child to your vehicle.  Two carpool tags are assigned to each family at the beginning of the school year or upon enrollment.  If you need extra carpool tags, please ask the Office Manager. A written release must be submitted to the Office for someone other than the parents/gaurdians to pick up your child(ren).  That person will be asked to show identification.

Upon arriving, for your child’s safety, please pull in and circle around past the front door to the fire department faucet (side of the circle closest to the staff parking spaces) so that those cars behind you do not block the drive way to the center next door or the road.

Please do not escort your child into/out of the building during carpool times.  Escorting your child into.out of the building during carpool  severely disturbs the efficiency of the carpool procedure and is disrespectful to the parents who have patiently and supportively followed the carpool procedures.

A teacher or an assistant will help your child from the vehicle and escort him inside.  Please remain in your vehicle at all times.

When picking up, again, pull all the way forward to the fire department faucet.  Remain in your car and the teacher will put your child in your car.  Once all the doors are closed, pull further into the parking lot to buckle your child in.  This process allows other cars to pull up and keeps the carpool line moving.  Please be considerate to others.

Carpool is not the time to hold discussions with staff personnel.  Please call the school to schedule an appointment with the teacher.  From time to time, we find it necessary to distribute information at carpool times.  All papers will be given to the parent or carpool driver.  Please ask non-parent or substitute drivers to take the responsibility of seeing that the notes reach their destination.  It is your responsibility to make sure your substitute driver is completely aware of all carpool procedures.
