Traffic and Safety Procedures

The safety of our students is something that we take very seriously. It is also important that we model the Pillars of Character for our children and be sensitive to the neighbors that might be affected by traffic flow and any violations of the rules that we have established. With these objectives in mind, please take a moment to review the following traffic and safety procedures:

 

  • Drop-off should only occur in front of the playground area where our morning greeter is located. There is a sign down the street on Santa Victoria that states "Begin Passenger Unloading". However, for safety reasons, please only unload in the designated area in front of the playground.

  • Students may be dropped off between 8:10 and 8:30 each morning. There is no playground supervision prior to 8:10, so if you require an early drop-off, you will need to contact CDC.

  • Please pull forward as far as possible when dropping off and picking up. All parents need to remain in their vehicles.

  • When exiting the parking lot during drop off (8:00 to 8:45 am) and pick up (2:30 to 3:15 pm), you must turn right or go straight. There are no left or U turns permitted in this area.

  • Please do no park in or block any of the driveways of the homes in our neighborhood.

  • Be sure to use the marked crosswalks when crossing the parking lot, streets and driveway.

  • If your child needs to enter or exit on the left side of your car, please use street parking instead of drive-thru areas, in order to allow traffic to move freely and safely.

  • Students waiting on the playground for pick-up need to wait in line at their classroom numbers. Because we do not have afterschool supervision, students are not allowed to play on the playground unless a parent accompanies them.

  • Please be sure to pick up your child by 3:00 PM, as supervision ends at this time. CDC is available for afterschool childcare.

  • Please do not leave your car unattended in the red zones at any time. Your may be cited or towed if you park in these areas.

  • If you are in line in your car waiting for your child for 30 seconds or longer, please turn off your car engine. (This helps to keep our air cleaner and to use less gas).

  • Parents picking up students on the blacktop need to pass through the outside gate when it is opened at the designated time. Please do not come through the main doors before the bell rings.

  • If you pick up your child on the playground after school and stay to play, please move beyond the coned off area so that we can differentiate which children are waiting to be picked up.
