To drop your child off at school, you may use the Mead Parking Lot or other surrounding parking area. Your child can either walk by themselves through the designated loading/unloading area on Alton street (between orange cones) or you can park and walk your child onto campus.
Pick Up
To pick your child up from school, park in the Mead parking lot on Alton Street and cross through the orange cones. Walk to the designated area(s) for your child(ren)’s grade level to pick them up from their classroom teacher. Exit to the parking lot by going back through the orange cones on Alton Street.
Please be careful as you enter/exit the lot. Watch for other families and students who are walking to or home from school.
Please do not, at any time, ask your child to cross the street between cars. Allow them to proceed to the crosswalks and cross with the assigned patrols or in the designated loading/unloading area on Alton.
Our bus loading zone is on 17th Avenue. There is no parking allowed for an extended time on either side of 17th Avenue during school hours. If you are dropping off or picking up your child between 9:00- 3:00, you are allowed to temporarily park on 17th to drop off or pick up.
