Car Rider Update
Our parent/guardian drop-off and pick-up car loop will move from the Holik St. entrance of the campus to the Anna St. entrance, on the south side of the school. Parent/guardian cars will exit onto Timber St. This is needed to prevent traffic from backing up on George Bush Dr., where The City of College Station is going to build a barrier along the bike lane. When in line for drop-off and pick-up along Glade St., please do not block street intersections or driveways. As always, please be aware of students walking to and from school and come to complete stops at crosswalks to allow students to cross the street safely.
We ask that parents use the entrance from Anna St. when dropping their students off or picking them up. Students will not be allowed to be dropped off on the sidewalk on Holik. Parent vehicles are not allowed in the teacher parking lot to drop off students, unless the parent is entering the building in the morning as a visitor to speak with office staff. For safety concerns, please do not drop your student off along the curb on Timber. Again, we ask that all parents drop their students off by entering the loop on Anna.
The first weeks are always busy and the lines move more slowly as new students learn the dismissal routine. We consistently manage to get the pick-up line empty in eight to ten minutes after the 3:50 dismissal time once the routine is established. The time cars spend in the pick-up line is gradually reduced in the first two weeks as students learn to look intently for their cars while they wait in the loop. Please make sure your student knows your vehicle when getting picked up everyday and encourage them to focus on finding you, when you arrive. I will be with several staff members supervising the students while they wait. Student safety is always our number one priority, please help us in this effort as you drive through the campus and the Oakwood neighborhood.
Off-campus P.E. pick-up will remain in the front entrance/exit on Holik St. between 2:51 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Students being dropped-off or picked-up during the school day between 8:25 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. will also continue to use the Holik St. entrance to the school.
