Student drop-off procedures that require parents to park in the southside parking lot, get out of their cars, and escort students (K through 6) to the doors of the school building. Student pick-up procedures that require parents to park in the southside parking lot, get out of their cars, wait for their students (K through 6) to exit the building, and then escort them to the parked cars before departing the site. Two rounds of bus arrivals/departures, where no more than five buses per round will be on-site at any given time. Ample space for four buses to queue along the northern edge of the fenced playground.
