Sand Pine Traffic Rules
Morning Arrival Procedures:
Please be reminded that we have very limited parking this year. We are strongly recommending that all parents use the car loop to drop off students. The traffic would flow smoother and faster if all parents used the car loop. If you need to park and no spaces are available, continue driving around the loop until a spot becomes available. Parents that are stopping at the entrance to the parking lot to wait for an available spot are blocking the car loop and it is causing traffic jams on County Line Road. Students may not be dropped off in the parking lot. Parents must park in a parking space and walk their child to the crosswalk area.
As you know, we invite our families to school for many special activities. In the event there is a special school activity, the number of parking spaces will be extremely limited. On those days, using the car loop will minimize the traffic. We will post a sign at the entrance of the school advising you to use the car loop.
Dismissal Procedures:
In the afternoon, students are released to parents in two ways: walk-up/pick-up and car riders. Due to the number of students we have this year, students will not be released to parents walking up to the car rider area. Walkers and bikers should meet their parents/designated person at the corner of the school campus on County Line Road. Parents should not be waiting for the children at the bike rack or on the sidewalk by the portables.
All parents picking students up must have an approved Sand Pine pick-up sign. If you don’t have a sign, you will be asked to go to the front office to show your identification. Please contact the office if you need a sign.
If your afternoon plans change on the way your child is getting home, please send a note to your child’s teacher. In the event of an emergency, contact the front office. Please note that there are no dogs allowed on campus at any time. All of our procedures are in place for the safety of our children. We appreciate your cooperation in following these set procedures.
