Drop-N-Go
Post
Please follow these tips to help the program run smoothly:
- Plan ahead – Be sure your kids have their backpacks and lunches ready to go and once you enter the cone zone, that they are prepared to exit quickly so you can be on your way.
- Greeters will be ushering kids from the sidewalk side so please have your child’s car seat on the passenger side of the car. If you have multiple kids, and one may need help with the car seat, be sure that child is on the passenger side.
- Please pull as far forward as possible before allowing your children to exit the vehicle.
- Please follow the greeters’ instructions and please be courteous as they are all taking time out of their morning to make sure your children get on to campus safely.
- Please be patient on rainy days as there may be parents using “Drop and Go” for the first time. Trust that the greeters will be handling the flow as best they can.
- As you exit, be aware of the cross walk in front of you. Under no circumstances turn left onto Marian – proceed to Perkins or beyond.
Drop-N-Go Procedure
Approaching from the North:
- The front of Crocker on Riverside Blvd. is an unloading zone only and we will use this area to help unload children to help ease congestion.
- Cars queued on Riverside Blvd. will be directed into the coned-off Valet Drop off Zone by morning greeters.
- Greeters will be standing by to wave you up for a quick unloading. When you pull forward, the greeter will help open car doors, welcome your children to school and help usher them out of the car.
- Please have your children ready before you enter the valet zone, so that when you pull forward they can exit the car quickly and you can be on your way.
- As you exit, be aware of the cross walk in front of you. Under no circumstances turn left onto Marian – proceed to Perkins or beyond.
Approaching from the South:
- Avoid turning right onto Marian. There have been a number of “near misses” as this is the most utilized street for our students. Instead, use 7th Avenue, Perkins, Robertson, or Swanston as they are much less congested.
Escorting your child to school:
- Please use Govan or Muir Way as a preferred route to park on the neighboring streets. As always, be courteous to our neighbors by not blocking driveways or moving trashcans.
