Carpool

Dear Parents,

Thank-you for your cooperation during carpool. I would like to share with you some of the carpool procedure so that all of us will be on the same page. Please continue down into the parking lot into three lanes. There are teachers posted at intervals to call the names of your children. Please also have their names, grade, and teacher on a white sheet of paper, until you recieve your tag from the school office. We have been advised by the police department that we should only allow students to be loaded from the sidewalk. This is to ensure the safety of our children. If you reach the front of the carpool line and your child has not yet reached your vehicle, please pull into the parking zone in front of the school, designated "recall lane". There, you will find myself or Ms. Bentley who will come to your car to take your tag to bring to your child. We know your faces, we know our students. It is faster for us to get them, than for you to leave your vehicle and walk to the front. Once we have your child, you may pull up to the sidewalk, so that we may help your child into the car safely. No teacher should be walking your student across the pavement. Please keep in mind, if you are in your vehicle, it is easier for us to get you in and out of the carpool lanes. Walk-up parents, slow our entry in and out of the building. They also keep names from being called inside. I would also like you to keep in mind, that we have grown as a family. There are more families that need to be picked up afterschool. It is also important for you to stress to your middle schoolers the importance of following procedure and safety in traffic. Thank-you again for your support and patience. Please share this information with other parents.

Thanks!
Ms. Bynoe
