Car Line Procedures
Drop off
Scholars may be dropped off in the carpool line between 7:30am - 8:00am. All families should remain in their cars until they have arrived in the drop off area and their scholar has been assisted by a staff member while exiting the car. Families are expected to stay in their vehicles during the drop off.
If you arrive after 8:00am., you will need to park, walk your scholar into the building, and sign your scholar in as the staff members facilitating carpool are expected to report to the building at 8:00am.
Pick up
If you are picking up your scholar from school via carpool they must be picked up no later than 3:15pm. On the first day of pick up you will receive a SGE Car Rider Sign, where you will write the name and grade level of your scholar. Please place this sign in a visible space on your dashboard. A staff member will come and read your scholar’s name and issue you a slot number where you will pick up your scholar.
The Zipper Merge Method
At drop off and pick up, please use the "zipper method" for merging through the two lanes:
Use both lanes as you approach the merge point near the bottom of the hill.
At the designated point (before the bend), cars take turns — one from the left lane, one from the right — just like the teeth of a zipper coming together.
Once merged into a single lane, please stay in line and avoid passing or creating a second lane around the bend.
Following this pattern helps everyone move efficiently and safely. Thank you for doing your part!
