Drop-Off Lane
The School Drop-off Lane was created to help parents stay on schedule in the morning. It is important that the school drop-off lane only be used for the purpose for which it is intended. Cars must move safely and swiftly, in single file, and and adults should not get out of the vehicle.
If you need to help your child out of the car in the morning, then we ask that you do not use the drop-off lane. In this case, you may park on a surrounding street to give your child(ren) the help and attention that they need from you. This will create a less hectic and safer situation for everyone.
Dismissal Procedures
The lane that is used in the morning for drop-off is not intended to be a pick-up lane in the afternoons. Please do not park in the drop-off lane at afternoon pick-up. This creates a major safety hazard for students and families as they are trying to walk to their cars.
Do not Block Driveways or Park in Private Lots
Please also remember that if you are parking at drop-off or pick-up, you must leave all of our neighbor’s driveways free so that they may enter and exit. Additionally, the parking lots owned by private businesses around St. Rose of Lima are not acceptable places for drivers to park at drop-off and pickup.
