Traffic & Safety Drop Off Team 24-25

Welcome back! As you may have noticed, parking gets a little tight in the morning. Drop Off and Pickup is ALWAYS a busy time on campus, but bringing back the drop-off zone this year will help relieve parking woes and increase the efficiency of the space we have. However, we can only bring back the drop-off zone with YOUR help! This vital and important team helps keep our students safe and parents informed.

Using the Drop-Off Circle on Kimberly Drive

  • Children should ONLY EXIT the vehicle on the right passenger side.
  • Always pull up to the gate where it says Drop-Off before having your child exit your vehicle.
  • DO NOT pass cars in the Drop-Off Circle.
  • DO NOT allow children to exit until you’ve reached the Drop-Zone at the end of the circle by the blue gates.
  • Have children ready with backpacks, etc. when you reach the Drop Zone (i.e. do not have backpacks, lunch boxes, school projects, etc. in the trunk).
  • Say your goodbyes before reaching the Drop Zone.
  • Right Turn Only when exiting the Drop-Off Circle.

Driving & Parking Around Hacienda

  • Always be sure your child exits the vehicle on the right passenger side and not into traffic.

  • DO NOT park in the Bus Loading Zones on Kimberly and Vistamont Drives.
  • DO NOT park in the staff parking lots on Kimberly and Rodney Drives.
  • Never “double park”, block handicap spaces, drop students away from the curb, go around cars in the street, make a u-turn in the school zone
  • Do not leave your car if parked in a white 5-Minute Loading Zone
  • Please be considerate of our neighbors. Do not: block driveways, bump or move garbage cans, park on or drive through yard clipping piles, etc.
  • Always be alert when you are: in your vehicle, walking in crosswalks, and anywhere else that children may be. We need to look out for one another and especially for all Hacienda students.
