2020 Poinciana Road Reminder

Poinciana Road Reminder:
As a reminder to all parents, Poinciana Road is not a pick up area for students. About three years ago, the Town changed this area on both sides of the streets to a no parking zone. To be sure that we remain lawful in our procedures while still offering a quick and convenient pick up area, we created what is now called the Greenfield Road Pick Up. We have used this pick up option for the last three school years now, and it is by far our quickest departure area-- students are typically picked up and parents out of the parking lot within just a few minutes of the students arriving with the teacher after a short walk from the playground.
As no students should be picked up on Poinciana Road, all students exiting that gate should be bike riders or walkers. All students who have previously been picked up by car on Poinciana Road should use the Greenfield Road Pick Up or one of our other designated pick up areas. Students are escorted to the sidewalk area at the east side of the parking lot off of Greenfield Road (formerly called the GCA Student Lot).
We realize that pick up for this many students results in a very congested area for a short amount of time. We appreciate how supportive you are of our procedures and your vigilance while near the school to keep students safe.
The following is the procedure for drop off and pick up in this area (Greenfield Lot):
Parents may park in this area as early as they wish, closest to the chain-link fence on the east side of the lot.
Students will be released to sidewalk area near the Greenfield lot on the north west side of our campus where they will wait for their parents to pick them up.
A teacher will be on duty in this area to supervise students. Those remaining after 3:05 or after traffic empties out will be brought to the office to wait.
