Drop-Off/Pick-Up Revision Saint Joseph Academy families, I hope this finds you doing well during this Advent season and looking forward to the Christmas holiday. We are writing today with an update to the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up procedures. We have observed closely the procedures and feel like there are some opportunities for improvement to make dropoff and pick-up operate more smoothly and efficiently. Attached is a map illustrating how drop-off/pick-up will be working at St. Joseph Academy beginning Friday, December 17th. With that, please review the important changes below regarding the dropoff/pick-up procedures. •
All cars that are picking-up or dropping-off are to enter through the school’s main entrance and exit through the Calle Retama gates. Please see the attached map for the drop-off and pickup location. Please follow the route as listed.
•
Drop-off and Pick-up of students will now be on the road alongside the football field. This provides a much longer area that will fit more cars and students will be able to get cars faster.
•
Please text or call your child when you’ve arrived on campus so they will be ready to meet you on the road alongside the football field. Students can only enter your car when you are on that road.
•
Please pull up as far as you can on that road and wait for your child to enter/exit the car.
•
For the safety of students and other drivers, NO TURN-AROUNDS and NO DROPOFF/PICK-UP in any other areas, including the front of the school, or the Admin Parking lot.
•
STUDENTS/FACULTY PARKING ON CAMPUS: To avoid congestion, all students and faculty that park on campus are to exit using the main entrance.
•
Student/Faculty parking on the road along the football field IS NO LONGER ALLOWED.
•
Students with parking permits are now allowed to park in the new parking area near the baseball field.
•
Parents that wish to park outside the main entrance and have their students walk off-campus to meet them is still allowed for dismissal.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we look to improve the drop-off and pick-up process. If you have any questions or would like to speak further, please feel free to reach out to us.
