Car Rider Instructions
All car riders are picked up on Melrose.

- Cunningham and Melrose are ONE WAY during drop-off and pick-up hours.
- Students will be called up to a cone by number and will load into the car with adult supervision.
- Police will not allow cars to block Melrose or Cunningham. Cars should stay in the righthand lane only and form two lines once in the pick-up circle.
- Pull all the way forward when prompted, allowing more cars to enter.
- Children exit and enter the car on the sidewalk side only or passenger side.
- All family members should stay in the car.
Arrival and Dismissal as a Walker
- Use the crosswalks - only.
- During the 26-27 year, we need to limit walking only to families who live on Melrose and Ray. If we find that we can accommodate more walkers later in the year, we will communicate this to families. We appreciate your understanding with this limitation - as it is for the safety of everyone.
- Similarly, families cannot park and walk to SHE to pick-up your child.
