What about drop off and pick-up directions?

In the morning, traffic flow is ONE WAY between 7:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.

Parents dropping students off at the Lower School can get in the left lane as they approach the stop sign. Turn left at the stop sign and pull up to the Lower School sidewalk. Stop for the greeter to assist your child out of the car.

Parents dropping students off at the Middle and Upper School stay in the right lane and continue straight at the stop sign. Follow the road that goes around the backside of the school to the appropriate drop off point. You will exit in front of the Lower School.

In the afternoon, STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE until advised to move to the left lane. Normal traffic flow occurs in the afternoon! The Prep employee handling carpool duty at the stop sign will direct you.

If you need to go to the Upper School or Lower School, please use your left turn signal. The Prep employee handling carpool duty will direct you onto the left lane when it is safe and you can then proceed to the Lower or Upper School. Middle School carpool will stay in the right lane.
