Parking Lot & Traffic Safety

All cars must enter our parking lot from Calle Albara, and complete the loop to exit.
All cars must make a RIGHT turn only at the exit on to Calle Albara during drop-off and pick-up hours.
All pedestrians must use the blue and white crosswalk to cross in the lot. This is located directly in front of our main entrance gate, to the right side of our front office.
All drivers must pull all the way up behind the first vehicle in the yellow zone for drop-off and pick-up. If we're all courteous, we can fit 11 cars in the yellow zone and keep the lot moving smoothly at all times.
Please be sure to make two distinct lanes as you turn into our lot, with the right side passing through to drop off and pick up, and the left lane for parking. For the safety of all, students must be dropped off in the yellow zone only.
Pedestrians are permitted to enter campus via Avenida Apolinaria, or along the southeast side of Calle Albara only. Students and adults risk serious injury if they cross on Calle Albara.
Vehicles must park in designated spots only. NO Parking at any time in the yellow or red zones and planter beds. The yellow zone is for pick up and drop-off only, and vehicles may not be left unattended.

Thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation with arrival and dismissal procedures!

Preschoolers, transitional kindergartners, and kindergartners must have an adult accompany them to their classroom door and pick them up at the door at the end of the day. All other students are to be dropped off at the front gate. No adult is permitted entry onto our campus without (1) registering in our security verification system and (2) having an appointment with a teacher and (3) logging in at the front office.

Park-and-walk

If you prefer not to wait in the drive-through line, it is okay to park your car and walk your child to and from campus.

Walking to school and carpooling

We encourage carpooling with classmates and neighbor children to reduce congestion near the school. Many families live within walking distance and choose skip the congestion by walking to and from school each day.

If your child is old enough to walk home on their own, please send a note with your child to show a staff member when they have been instructed by you to walk home. (A note for the year is great!)
