#1 Rule, at all times, for all drivers:
BE PATIENT AND WAIT IN LINE!
VERY IMPORTANT!
FOR THE SAFTEY OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR NEED TO LOAD
CARS TO MOVE TRAFFIC QUICKLY, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES. CARPOOL MAP AND RULES MUST BE FOLLOWED.
All students are dismissed from the Parish Hall, Middle School entrance or
ECDC hall by a teacher, then loaded into their car by a teacher. Once all
carpool students are dismissed, students where a parent/guardian walks
up to get them will be dismissed. The traffic flow below must be followed for
the safety of our children.
Any student not picked up by 3:15 will be admitted to ASC and a full day
charge will be incurred.
Grades 2, 3, 4 – Enter lot from Gayton Rd. near Pinchbeck. Turn left and drive along the front of the
school building, letting children out when you arrive at the sidewalk by the main entrance. Exit the lot
onto Gayton Rd. by the Parish Hall. When picking up pull all the way up to the end of the building.
PLEASE do not stop at your child, pull up and the teacher will walk your child to your vehicle.
Preschool, K, 1 and grades 5-8 – Enter lot from Marywood Ln. Turn right and drive along the outer
lane of the lot all the way up toward the playground, following the line around the back of the school.
Older children can exit cars along the curb and enter the middle school doors. Children in the ECDC
(preschool, K, 1) should exit cars along the curb at the ECDC entrance. When picking up pull all the
way to the end the middle school wing or the ECDC sidewalk. PLEASE do not stop at your child, pull
up and the teacher will walk your student to your vehicle. Middle school students are expected to look
for their ride and line up accordingly, for quick dismissal. Exit the lot onto Marywood.
Choose your carpool line based on the youngest child in your car. In other words, if you have a child
in the ECDC, use the Marywood entrance/exit and let the older children out at the middle school
doors. If the youngest child is in grades 2-4, use Gayton Rd. and let everyone out at the front doors.
Pick children up at the same place they were dropped off. Middle school students with an ECDC
sibling will walk down to the ECDC area for pick up.
If you are parking and walking your child to the door or picking them up, please enter via Gayton Rd,
park in the lower Park & Walk lot, and exit the lot carefully via Marywood Ln. This is especially
important in the afternoon when entering the lot. DO NOT attempt to enter off Marywood and turn left
into the lot, ESPECIALLY in the afternoon.
DO NOT enter off Gayton Rd. and drive through the Park & Walk lot to get into the back line.
DO NOT cut around ANY car at ANY TIME!
DO NOT enter the building at dismissal time to retrieve your child! For the safety of all children
