Carpool

Some of the most-asked questions are about carpool—When to arrive, where to go, and how to find your student! Here's everything you need to know.

Lower School

If you have a Lower School student, a carpool tag will be on your students’ desk during orientation. Please put your carpool tag (or a photocopy of it) in the front window of each car you might use for carpool. Please note that Lower School students will not be released to anyone not on your authorized pickup list. Any drivers not known to us should be prepared to show government-issued identification. When you arrive on campus, turn right to take either the first (dirt) or second (paved) driveway. If both lanes are full and reach out to Spartan Drive, please use the first parking lot lane, so the driveway is not blocked. All three lanes will feed into one lane near the pickup area. A few reminders:

❏ Please make sure your carpool tag is visible.

❏ Do not get out of your car. An adult or student safety patrol will help your student into the car.

❏ When exiting campus, please turn left at the stop sign and exit the School back onto Doctors Lake Drive.

❏ If you are picking up students in other divisions, please begin with the Lower School student, following the process above, and then turn right at the library and drive toward the back of the campus.

Middle School

Middle School pickup takes place at the Performing Arts Center (PAC). At the 3:15 bell, students proceed to the PAC and wait on the PAC steps for their ride. No carpool numbers are assigned, but there will be staff on hand to help locate students and open doors. Upon exiting the PAC parking lot, please turn right and exit to Moody Avenue. For the safety of our students and family members, please do not proceed back through campus past the Lower School.

Upper School

As so many Upper School students go to after School activities and/or drive themselves, there is no set carpool system for them. Upper School students who are dropped off and/or picked up from School are welcome to use the PAC parking lot, as in the map above.

Drop off begins at 7:45 a.m. Students need to be on campus, in classrooms, and ready to go before flag raising at 8:00 a.m. and dismissal is at 3:15 p.m.
