Shadow Valley Drop Off – Pick Up Map

STUDENT SAFETY COMES FIRST

Please follow the guidelines below to ensure that our Shadow Valley EPIC Eagles are safe entering and exiting the school.

For the safety of our Shadow Valley Students, we are asking you to please follow these guidelines as you drop off and then later in the day pick your students. Supervision is provided on the playground starting at 8:30 a.m. until 8:45 a.m. when the first bell rings.

DROP OFF/PICK UP LANE

(Right side, closest to school)

The drop off lane is only for briefly stopping, so students can get out or into a vehicle. Please do not leave your car unattended. If you are going to park, please use the parking lot and meet your child at the entrance.
When you enter the parking lot please use the right, drop off lane. If you are dropping off or picking up your child/children, continue to pull forward until it is your child/children’s turn to exit/enter the vehicle.
Pull to the farthest possible spot (which may be beyond the stop sign by the crosswalk) in the drop off lane before you stop. After pulling up as far as you can, quickly drop your child/children and exit the parking lot.
Make sure that your child/children is/are ready to quickly exit the car so we have a continual flow of traffic to avoid excessive back up.
Traffic should only stop to allow vehicles to move forward and students to exit vehicles.

PULL THROUGH “THRU” LANE

(Left side, farthest lane from school – also labeled as “Thru” Lane on black top)

If you are using the pull through lane, you need to keep in continual motion until you have exited this lane.
You can access this lane ONLY after you have picked up or dropped off your student.
This lane is only for through traffic that does not stop. If you need to drop off your child/children, please use the right, drop off lane. (Refer to Drop Off Lane)
Please do not stop or move your vehicle into the drop off lane from the “thru” through lane. This poses a serious safety danger to our students.

PARKING LOT

The parking lot is the only place where you can park your vehicle.
Please have your child/children use the crosswalk with an adult escort, it they are walking from or to a parked vehicle.
Please do not use the parking lot as a drop off or pick up zone. Use the designated drop off lane.

School Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures Tips

Please Do:

Drive slowly and cautiously while picking up or dropping off students.
Pull forward as far as possible in the pick up/drop off lane (right lane).
Use the right lane for pick up/drop off ONLY.
Use the left lane to exit the pull through area.
Use your blinker to exit the pick up/drop off lane.
Use the crosswalk when appropriate to safely cross a street.
If parking in parking lot, please use the crosswalk and walk your student to the entrance.
Arrive at school between 8:40 - 8:45 a.m. when traffic is lighter.
Arrive between 3:35-3:40 p.m. when traffic is lighter.
Carpool with friends and neighbors.
Be courteous.

Please Avoid the Following Safety Hazards:

Leave your car unattended.
Double-park in the parking lot.
Do not let your students exit the vehicle while in the left lane (This is a safety hazard and stops traffic).
Pull through the parking lot to drop off or pick up students.
Park across the street from the school along the red curb.
Allow or encourage your students to cross the parking lot and street without using the crosswalk or with an adult.
Block the bus lane.

(These practices force your student to make unnecessary and dangerous crossings).
