Kiva Elementary School drop off and parking information Monday-Friday, 8-9AM & 2-3PM The new school year starts tomorrow! If you plan to come to VPC during drop off or pickup times during the week, please be aware that traffic entering the shared Kiva/ VPC parking lot on the west side of campus is one-way, going south. Cars entering from McDonald (by the Chapel) will exit out VPC's south parking lot (by the Sanctuary). We recommend parking along Quail Run to avoid the shared parking lot during these times, and remember to drive safely and keep an eye out for kids!
