Winter Carline Instructions

After school is now dark and snowy! Please read the following updates to car line to keep our students safe and carline moving smoothly.

Student Pick-Up Zone (Outer Green Lane)

• Arrival and Queuing: Upon entering the carline, please queue in the outer green lane only.

• Pull All the Way Forward: Drive forward as far as possible, filling any open spaces along the curb. Do not stop immediately upon seeing your student if there is space ahead of you.

• Close the Gap: As vehicles in front of you pull out, pull forward immediately to close the gap and allow the cars behind you to advance.

• Loading Students: Students must only be picked up in the designated outer green lane. This is the only place they should enter a vehicle.

Exit Lane (Inner Yellow Lane)

• Exit Only: The inner yellow lane is for loaded vehicles and exiting traffic only.

• No Pick-Ups: Students should NOT walk to the inner yellow lane. Do not attempt to pick up students from the inner lane.

Safety Rules

• Stay Out of the Inner Lane: For their safety, students must not walk to or wait in the inner yellow lane.

• No Crossing in Front of Cars: Due to snowy roads and low visibility in the dark evenings, students must NOT walk or cross in front of cars at any point in the carline. They should enter your car directly from the curb on the passenger side.

The following are a few do’s and don’ts to help everyone with a smoother afternoon pick up. Please note that all pickups and drop offs are to be done in the front circle and not in the parking lots. DO: - Do use both sides of the circle to pick up (note designated YELLOW pick-up areas on outer circle and far inner circle). - Do pull all the way through to the far side of the circle to avoid backups. - Do park in the YELLOW areas ONLY. - Do ask your students to promptly store their gear and enter the car safely. - Do drive through the GREEN areas to find a safe place to park in the roundabout. - Do have your student stay on the sidewalk or staircase until they see their carpool ride. DON’T: - Don’t block the back of the SSCV box truck that is carrying students’ gear. The truck parks on the far side of the circle. - Don’t stop in the RED areas of the pickup circle. - Don’t park in any of the GREEN areas or the parking lots. - Don’t allow students to walk down the center of the circle to find their carpool ride. - Don’t allow students to walk into the grassy area past the sidewalk to find their carpool ride.
