Please remember, there is no parking in the drop off lane, so please pull all the way up to the front of the drop off lane (by the front of the school), drop your child off (parents/drivers need stay in the car) and then you may keep moving.
If you arrive early and don't want to let your child out yet, please park in a parking spot in the parent lot until ready to drop off.
During dismissal we also ask you to please pull all the way up in the drop off/pick up lane and do not leave your car unless you are parked in a designated parking spot.t
Driving in our Parking Lot
Please remember to drive with caution as you enter and exit our school parking lots. The traffic flow at all schools is slow and that is the safest for our kids.
Please try not to be in a hurry when dropping off and picking up your children. We have noticed some drivers who have not been driving cautiously and we need to be safe with our children, families, and staff all around.
*You must slow down and drive with caution.
Crosswalks and Sidewalks
Please also remember to always use the crosswalks and sidewalks. It becomes unsafe when children and parents walk in and out of cars in the parking lots or when children run through the lot unattended. The crosswalks and sidewalks are the safest areas to use when walking in the parking lots.
Thank you for helping to keep everyone safe.
Respecting Staff Parking Lot Attendants
Please respect the staff who are helping aid in parking lot safety. There job is to keep everyone safe. At times they may ask you to follow certain rules you may not agree with. Please do not take it personal. They are doing their jobs. The goal is to keep you, your children, and everyone safe. Thank you for understanding.
Respecting Each Other, School Safeties, and School Staff
Parents, we know that families are in a hurry but the safety of our students, community, and staff is most important. Please be cautious and also be respectful to each other as parents, our student safeties and our staff. We ask that you refrain from confronting each other with issues. Please do your best to respect each other as parents and as a Wildcat community. If you have any questions or concerns you may reach out to our office team.
*Additionally, when communicating with all school staff and families, we ask for all parents and or guardians to conduct themselves in a calm and patient manner.
Please be aware that CHP will be stopping by occasionally to monitor traffic in an effort to keep our students safe. The biggest issues that CHP has report to site administration are as follows:
*speeding-reminder when students are present, speed limit is 25 MPH
*picking up your students along Eastern Avenue is not permitted. Follow road signage.
*the bus loop area is for busses only
*the Whitney Ave. parking lot for pick-ups/drops tends to have more room allowing cars to not be on Eastern Ave.
*as always parents are requested to pick up their children on campus and not at neighboring businesses. We do not provide supervision off campus.
Finally, for the safety of all students we ask that you are only on campus 5 minutes prior to pick up. Gates will be open in the back at 11:40am for Kinder and 2:10 for 1st-5th. If you enter through the front, please make sure you stay in the front near the office until 11:40am (kinder) and 2:10 (M, T, W, F) or 12:55 (Thurs) for dismissal.
Similarly, gates will be closed and locked by 7:50am in the morning, and 12:00pm in the afternoon. We want to keep all out students safe. If you arrive later you can come around to the front. We really appreciate your support!!
