LOAD IN LOOP

This system was implemented in an effort to reduce traffic congestion. You will see specific information under each drop down menu related to this load in loop. Keep in mind all new systems take time to settle into. Be patient, courteous and allow everyone some grace.

DROP OFF LOAD IN LOOP

• 8:05am, the parking lot will allow cars to ‘load in’ 
• As you enter, form two (2) lanes traveling in the same direction
• You can enter your drop off zone as long as your car is not BLOCKING the traffic of the  lanes. If you are blocking through traffic while you wait, you will be asked to continue to another lane of travel and fill in empty spaces. If you have to pass your drop off zone, you can circle the building again and pull into your zone.
• Drive to the end of the orange zone and stop at the back LARGE CONES. 
• At 8:15am, the cones will be removed allowing you to loop around to all your drop off zones
• Supervision at our doors begins at 8:15am. Please do not send your child to the doors before this time as they will be unsupervised and this is a safety concern.

DROP OFF

• 8:15-8:30 am is drop off for all grades.
• Supervision at our doors begins at 8:15am, please do not send your child to the doors before this time as they will be unsupervised and this is a safety concern.
• Please do not arrive before 8:00am. The parking lot will be closed until 8:00 and cars will begin to back-up on our adjacent streets if you arrive early.  We want to avoid back up because it creates traffic hazards for everyone in the neighborhood. 

• Cars travel in a one way flow around the entire school.
• We have colored ZONE signs located at the front, side and rear of the school to help you find your drop off your spot.  The Zone colors are as follows: 

GREEN ZONE- Kindergarten, Second Grade (Lizirma Falcon), Fifth Grade and Fourth/Fifth Blend (Ruth Viera) . Drop your child off at the rear of the school. NEW: All students need to use the walkway entering from the covered area onto the deck to enter the gym.

RED ZONE - First Grade and Fourth Grade (Maria Gomez Santamaria and Barbara Bueno). Drop your child off at the front of the school.  Find the RED ZONE signs and pull out of the traffic line and  into the pullout area. First graders use one of the two classroom doors to enter the school and fourth graders use the front door. Note - There are two red zone drop off areas and you can use either one.   

ORANGE ZONE -  All Third Grade and Second Grade (Tamara Gomez and Patricia Ruiz) Drop your child off at the west end of the parking lot near the creek.  Students enter through the west hallway door at the end of the building. Note - There are two orange zone drop off areas and you can use either one. 

• There will be many cars in line, so you will need to pull as far forward as possible to allow other parents to pull in behind you. 
• Have your child’s belongings ready so they can get out as soon as you come to a stop. 
• Drop your child off on the driver’s side of your car.  
• Please make sure your child is ready to exit the car immediately.
• Please do not leave your car or have prolonged conversations with school staff as it will significantly delay other parents from dropping off their child.  If you wish to speak with your child’s teacher, please make arrangements to meet with them at another time.
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when pulling out of your drop off spot and drive SLOWLY through the parking lot. Children are getting out of cars and walking families are sharing the space. WE WANT EVERYONE SAFE!
• Park and walk: Do not park in our parking lot to walk your child into school.  If you want to park and walk, please find street parking. Walking families must use the crosswalk at the front of the school and then walk to the designated drop off zone. 

PICK UP LOAD IN LOOP

• At 3:15pm, we will begin letting all cars in for the second round pick up.
• If you are not picking up students in Kindergarten or First grade, please DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE 3:15
• As you enter, form two (2) lanes traveling in the same direction
• You can enter your drop off zone as long as your car is not BLOCKING the traffic of the lanes. If you are blocking through traffic while you wait, you will be asked to continue to another lane of travel and fill in empty spaces. If you have to pass your zone, you can circle the building again and pull into your zone.
• Drive to the end of the orange zone and stop at the LARGE CONES. 
• Note, you may need to drive around the building more than once to pick up your children.
• DRIVE SLOWLY and BE ALERT OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS
• The GREEN ZONE between our building and the neighbor’s building will be congested while we settle into the routine. 

PICK UP

• To view a picture of your zone,  CLICK TO VIEW THIS MAP 
• Family IDs: Your child will be given a color coded card with their family ID on it. The color corresponds to their drop off and pick up area.
• Your Family ID Card with your Driveline number must be displayed in your car window when you enter the parking lot.
• There will be a person at the entrance of the parking lot typing your number into the app so please ENTER THE PARKING LOT SLOWLY and HAVE YOUR NUMBER DISPLAYED CLEARLY.
• If we cannot get your number entered into the system, it will delay the process and back up the traffic line. 
• USE EXTREME CAUTION when pulling out of your drop off spot and drive SLOWLY through the parking lot. Children are getting into cars and walking families are sharing the space. WE WANT EVERYONE SAFE!
• If you arrive late for pick up (after 3:30), park and come into the office to pick up your child. 
• If you wish to speak with your child’s teacher, please make arrangements to meet with them at another time.

• Any student walking off campus at the end of the day is required to fill out a Walking Permission Slip. You can find it at the bottom of this page.
• Walking families must use the crosswalk at the front of the school and then walk to the designated drop off zone.  
• If you are dropping off or picking up in the red or orange zones, go to the right (north) after you cross at the crosswalk.
• If you are dropping off or picking up in the green or yellow zones, go to the left (south) after you cross at the crosswalk. Stay close to the building as there are no designated walking paths on this side of the school.
• Students who have permission to leave school on their own at the end of the day will all exit through the east hallway door and cross at the crosswalk to get to Creekside.  At that point, they are on their own.
• Note - Students who are walking on their own will be released from class at 3:10 so that we can get them out of the building before pick up starts.  Parents who are walking to their pick up zone after school to accompany their children should arrive at their regular pick up time.
