Your student's safety is our number one concern. Read about our traffic safety plan below.

EASTSIDE'S TRAFFIC SAFETY PLAN

General Traffic Safety Information

BEFORE SCHOOL DROP OFF:

  1. Families use the parking lot off of Scheuerell Lane, following the marked lane.

  2. Students can only be dropped off between 7:30 and 7:40.  

  3. Students go directly to their recess line and wait to go inside. (Many adults will be visible helping students get to the right doors)  

  4. Family members will NOT be allowed to wait with students in their recess lines or on the playground.

  5. Students do NOT play on the playground.

  6. If you need to get out of your car to help your student get ready, please park in one of the stalls and then walk with your student to the walking area (we do not want students to walk through the line of cars on their own).  

  7. If your student can get out of the vehicle on their own, please use the drop off lane.  Please make sure the students exit the car on the passenger side.  This will help keep the line moving, thank you.

  8. Drop off when temperature and/or wind-chill is below zero or it is raining.

    1. Please continue to drop off between 7:30 and 7:40 using Scheuerell Lane.  Do NOT drop off by the front steps, the buses use this parking lot.

    2. The change is that students will go inside when you drop them off using the normal door they usually enter the building.  Students will NOT be waiting outside. 

  9. DO NOT DROP OFF ON THE CORNER OF ELIZABETH LANE AND ERNEST AVE. 

BUS RIDERS:

  1. After you exit the bus, go directly to your grade’s recess line.  (Many adults will be visible helping students get to the right doors)    

  2. Students do NOT play on the playground before school.

WALKERS AND BIKE RIDERS:

  1. Once you arrive and park your bike in the racks if needed, go directly to your recess line.

  2. Students do NOT play on the playground before school.

 DISMISSAL PLAN - 2:40 on M, T, W and F, 1:30 on Thursdays:

  1. Walkers and Riders are dismissed when the bell rings.

  2. Please put a sign in your window with your child’s name and teacher.

  3. Riders will come outside to find you either in the pick up lane or cross hatched waiting area.

  4. K and 1st grade families are encouraged to park in a stall and then the adult will wait in the cross hatched area along the pick-up drive waiting for their students to come to them.  And then walk with your student to your vehicle.

  5. 2nd - 5th grade families are encouraged to use the pick up line and students will find their rides.  If you would like to park and wait in the cross hatched area, that is OK as well.

  6. If you have K/1 and a 2/5 student, pick either option that works for you.

  7. Please make sure your student knows the plan as well.

IF the temperature or wind chill is BELOW ZERO or it is raining at pick up time:

  1. Please create a sign with your student's name and grade to display in your vehicle's window. 

  2. Pull all the way forward in line as cars move in front of you.

  3. School staff will radio into the classrooms the names of students to send out to the pick up lane, we will NOT be waiting outside.

  4. Please be patient as this process will take longer than a normal day.

BUS RIDERS:

  1. Bus riders will wait in their classrooms until the bus is called and then will go directly to the bus.

ALL Visitors:   Must show picture ID in the Main Office.  Visitor Badge will be issued at that time. Please let the main office know when you are leaving.
