PICK UP/DROP OFF Zones- Zonas de RECOGER/DEJAR
PICK UP/DROP OFF Zones
As a reminder, we have pick up and drop off areas in the front of the school. Kindergarten students will continue to be picked up at their classrooms for safety reasons.
AREA #1: The loading zone in front of the cafeteria is a passenger loading only zone from 7:30-8:30 am and 12:00-3:00 pm on school days only. Times not restricted will be used for visitor parking.This is a valet style drop off and pick up- you will drive up to the curb, the student will exit the vehicle, and walk into the cafeteria/campus. To keep the line flowing, please make sure you say your goodbyes at home so that they can exit and enter the car quickly. DO NOT park or leave your car unattended. If you want to walk your child to school, please continue to park on the artery streets and/or at Sorensen Park.
AREA #2: The curb outside the front office area which is currently open to park your vehicle at 7:00 am will also be converted into a passenger loading only zone from 7:30-8:30 am and 12:00-3:00 pm (school days only). Times not restricted will be used for visitor parking. DO NOT park or leave your car unattended.
AREA #3: The final curb area adjacent to the last driveway by the kinder area (currently a parking zone) will be converted into a bus loading only zone between the hours of 7:30 am - 3:30 pm (school days only.

Zonas de RECOGER/DEJAR
Como recordatorio, tenemos áreas para recoger y dejar en frente de la escuela. Los estudiantes de kindergarten continuarán siendo recogidos en sus salones por razones de seguridad.
ÁREA #1: La zona de carga del autobús / rojo actual en frente de la cafetería se cambiará a una zona de solo carga de pasajeros de 7: 30-8: 30 am y de 12: 00-3: 00 pm solo durante los días escolares. Los horarios no restringidos se utilizarán para el estacionamiento de visitantes. Vamos a implementar un estilo de dejar y recoger de estudiantes. Esto significa que usted conducirá hasta el borde, el estudiante saldrá del vehículo y entrará a la cafetería / escuela. Para que la línea siga fluyendo, asegúrese de despedirse en casa, para que puedan salir y / o ingresar al auto rápidamente. NO se estacione ni deje su automóvil desatendido. Si gusta llevar a su hijo/a caminando a la escuela, continúe estacionándose en las calles de las arterias y / o en el parque Sorensen
ÁREA #2: La área afuera de la oficina principal que actualmente está abierto para estacionar su vehículo a las 7:00 am también se convertirá en una zona de carga de pasajeros solo de 7: 30-8: 30 am y 12: 00-3 : 00 pm (días escolares solamente). NO se estacione o deje su carro desatendido.
ÁREA # 3: El área final de la acera adyacente al último camino de entrada del área de kinder (actualmente una zona de estacionamiento) se convertirá en una zona de carga de autobuses únicamente entre las 7:30 am y las 3:30 pm (solo días escolares) .
