Parents
provide transportation to and from school; the school does NOT offer
transportation. Each family is assigned a number to be used during pick-up
time. This number is referred to as a carpool number even when used by an
individual family. If
you are interested in forming a regular carpool, call the office for a list of
families in your area.
·
You
must have a carpool number whether your family travels alone or in a carpool
with another family.
·
All
carpool numbers are assigned by the school; obtain your number as soon as
possible. (Parents of returning students should not assume they will be
assigned the same number as the previous year.) You must use the
school-provided carpool number, i.e.: the actual card issued to you by the
office. If you lose this card, you may get a replacement from the office.
·
If
you form a regular carpool with another family, both families will be assigned
the same number.
·
If
you form a carpool, notify the school as soon as possible so the children can
be grouped together at dismissal time.
·
Attach
your carpool number in clear view on the upper part of the windshield on the
passenger side.
·
A
note must be sent to the school giving permission for your child to leave the
school with anyone other than his/her regular carpool.
·
Always
notify the driver(s) of your carpool anytime that you make other arrangements
for your childs transportation.
·
Remember
that golfersin carts or on foothave the right-of-way.
Successful
carpools depend primarily upon the cooperation of the parents involved. The
following rules are in force at all times.
§
No
left turn into school driveway during carpool.
·
Do
not engage the staff in conversation during carpool arrival and departure; this
delays the entire operation.
·
Make
sure that your children enter and depart cars from the side next to the
building; if your child still sits in a car seat, have the seat on the
passenger side of the car, either front or rear.
·
If
adjustment of car seats and seat belts takes extra time, pull around the corner
of the driveway, stopping to the side of Greenbury Point Road so that we can
continue the loading process as efficiently as possible.
·
Make
sure that your children are seated in or are safely out of your car and that
car doors are securely closed before proceeding around the circle.
·
Remain
in your car to
ensure that the line proceeds around the circle as quickly as possible.
·
It
is not permitted to drop off a child at the end of the driveway or in the
parking lot across the street. You may drop off a child ONLY at the school
entrance. Otherwise, you must park across the street and walk with your child
to the entrance.
