Carline Procedures
AM Carline
-
Lower School drop-off is in the left lane (students should exit the left side of the vehicle). Upper School drop-off is the right lane (students should exit the right side of the vehicle). Please do not drop off any students at the first staircase because it backs the carline up onto the main road and creates an unsafe environment.
PM Carline (Dismissal times: Lower School at 2:30 and Upper School at 2:45)
-
PM carline for Lower School will consist of two lanes to decrease the number of cars on the road. All 3K, 4K, 5K, & 1st grade students will dismiss in the inner lane closest to the school and 2nd-5th grade students will dismiss in the outer lane. If a Lower School student has a younger sibling, they will dismiss in the inner lane with their sibling. All drivers must pay close attention to the teachers/administration on duty to load students, direct traffic, and assist in the moving of cars. Once the signal is given to move the carline, all inner lane cars must exit onto Columbia Road to the left and all outer lane cars must exit to the right. There will be space available at the fence area to assist younger students with buckling before the next set of cars moves to exit. All students will be assisted by an adult to enter a vehicle and there will be no cars moving during loading.
-
Upper School non-drivers will be picked up in in front of the school, in the outer lane. You must wait until 2:45pm to arrive for upper school dismissal. You may park in the student parking lot in front of the school before that time, but if you wish to utilize the carline, you must wait to enter at 2:45pm. If your child has a younger sibling in lower school, you still have to pull around after lower school dismissal and park in the upper student lot for upper school dismissal. Upper school students will not be dismissed early or enter lower school car lines! If your child is not out for loading at 2:45 and you need to wait on them, please pull up into the grass or pull around to a parking spot in the upper student lot.

Student drivers will be dismissed to the student lot in front of the school and crossed through the carline by a teacher/administrator on duty, as usual.
