Car Pool Procedures...
Friendly reminders to help keep your kids and teachers safe and the carpool line moving quickly:
- On rainy or cold days, expect the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up to be extra busy. Plan accordingly or have your child ride the bus.
- Do not park and walk your child to or from the building in the morning or afternoon unless additional arrangements have been made with the office staff or your child’s teacher. The carpool line will actually move faster if everyone stays in their cars because the line would not have to stop for people crossing the crosswalk.
- Do not use your cell phone when the carpool line is moving.
- Be kind to the teachers/staff that are helping your child get in and out of the car.
- We are moving as fast as we can, but our biggest concern is your child’s safety.
- While waiting in line, turn off your ignition.
- Please leave parking spaces open for staff members.
- Drop-off begins at 7:15 and the tardy bell rings at 7:45. Children are not allowed in the building and no supervision is available before 7:15.
- Make sure your child is ready to get out of the vehicle in the morning: breakfast eaten, backpack on laps, seat belts unbuckled once approaching the front of the line.
- Do not come through the bus lot. It is unsafe, and there is no one there to supervise dropped off student
- If you walk your child in, please park at AG and walk them all the way to the front of the school. Children cannot walk unattended from the AG parking lot.
- Have your Carpool Sign up and keep it up until you exit the carpool line with your child.
- Encourage your child to listen for their name in the afternoons and to walk quickly to the zone they are called to. The zones are just a guess as to where you will stop. Don’t worry about stopping at that zone, just pull all the way up and your child will come to meet you.
- Do not park in the Selwyn Parking lot and walk up to pick up your child. Our Extension Team parents use those spaces. If you want to walk up to get your child, please park in the AG Parking lot and walk over to get your child.
- Pick-up begins around 2:45 and usually ends before 3:00 (AG parents will start lining up in the carpool lane at 3:00).
- Students are escorted by their classroom teacher to their assigned bus located in the bus parking lot behind the cafeteria.
- Students may only ride the buss they have been assigned to by CMS Transportation.
- If you have questions or need to make changes to your assigned bus, please contact Dr. Harris or CMS Transportation.
- All buses are scheduled to be off the lot in the afternoon by 3:00 (a ConnectED phone call is sent if there are any delays regarding bus transportation)
