For Families
Rolling Drop off
8:25am Rolling Drop-Off Begins
Cars should roll as far forward as far as possible into the RDO zone lane.
Volunteers will open passenger door, greet parents and children, help children out if necessary and close the door
Students should immediately make their way to the playground (or to the auditorium on rainy days).
Cars should not “jump ahead,” as this blocks traffic.
8:40 Rolling Drop-Off Ends
If you arrive after 8:40am and the yard gate has been locked, students need to walk up the ramp to the main office.
RDO Rules & Guidelines for Parents
Leave early. If you arrive at 8:25am there’s usually no wait. Waiting to the last minute makes arriving at school stressful for you and your children
Avoid driving east on Jackson (direction Fillmore to Webster). DO drive West on Jackson (direction Webster to Fillmore).
DO NOT get out of your car. If you must drop something off and need to get out of your car, please park on Webster Street or do it after Rolling Drop-Off is over.
DO NOT double park on either side of the street. This blocks traffic and makes for unsafe conditions for RDO volunteers and students
DO NOT pull into the driveway leading up to the playground. This is very dangerous to children and parents coming and going.
DO NOT make a U-turn on Jackson Street. This causes dangerous conditions.
