Option #1: Regular Car, Bus Lane (WC Pike)
Option #1 is the traditional drop off route in the morning. You must enter at the school entrance along with the buses, and drive using the lane furthest from the school.
If you need to walk your child to their entrance, please park your car in a marked parking spot. Please, do not leave your car idling or turned off in an unmarked spot.
For drop-off, please pull all the way up to the drop off zone. The first three parking spots will be marked off to expand the drop off zone to allow up to 5 cars to unload passengers at once.
Teachers will be there to help students cross the bus lane. Please, do not try and sit in your idling vehicle while you wait for your student to enter the building. If you feel the need to watch your student enter the building, please park your car and walk them to the door.
All students should only cross the bus lane at the crosswalk with the teachers. Do not drop your children off before the drop off zone and instruct them to run across the bus lane.
All cars must exit onto Hilltop Road, via the lane closest to the Church.
Please, follow all of the directions from the teachers crossing the children and directing traffic.
Option #2: Regular Car Lane (Hilltop Road)
Option #2 is the other traditional drop off route in the morning. You must enter at the one-way entrance furthest from the Church on Hilltop Road. Please, stay in the right lane. Do not try and make two lanes!!
For drop-off, please pull all the way up to the drop off zone at the stop sign. A teacher will be there to direct traffic and cross children in a safe manner. All cars must turn left, after the stop sign.
If you need to walk your child to their entrance, please park your car in a marked parking spot. Please, do not leave your car idling in an unmarked spot, especially in front of the dumpsters. You may even go around the island and use the spots closest to the church chapel. If you choose this option, please cross with your children on the other sign of the cones to keep traffic flowing.

Pick Up Procedures
Option #1: Regular Car Line Pick Up (WC Pike)
Regular Car Line Pick Up is the traditional car line pickup from previous years. Please, enter from the West Pike Entrance closest to the school. Stay in the right lane after you pass the bus lane. The students will be brought out to the island along the pickup zone.
Cones will block the first three parking spots near the island to expand the pickup zone so five cars can be loaded at once. As the first five cars are loading, the teachers will spread out the children along the pickup zone for the next five cars. Pull all the way to the end of the island. Do not stop in the middle, as it limits the number of cars we can load safely. Please, teach your younger students the color and type (truck, suv, etc.) of the car usually picking them up. This will help move the car line faster as the teachers can start to narrow down which cars belong to which families.
Please, stay in your car. Parents are not permitted to park and pick up students from the regular car line. If you want to park your car, please use Option #2.
Please, pay attention to the teacher directing traffic. As the first car pulls out, the others can follow when ready. Please, do not pull out of the car line to go around another car unless directed by the teachers.
All cars must use the exit onto Hilltop Road closest to the church.
Option #2: Rectory Line Pick Up (WC Pike)
Rectory Line Pick Up is the other option for picking up your students. You will need to enter the campus by way of the entrance closest to the convent. Please, park your car. If you’re parking near the convent or the spots parallel to Radnor Road, please back-in to your spots with the fronts facing out.
All cars for the Rectory Line should be parked in the Rectory Lot. If your car is in the spaces between the convent and the church, you must walk down to the pickup zone to get your students. Due to safety concerns, students are not allowed to exit the line until they reach the pickup zone. Do not call out or instruct your students to leave the line early.
Please, gather your students quickly, and return to your vehicle. Once all students are in their cars, the teachers will start to allow cars to leave. If you plan to exit directly onto West Pike, please park in the spots closer to the pike. If you plan to exit directly onto Radnor Road, please park in the spots closer to the rectory.
More Information
While in the parking lot, please drive slowly and pay attention to your surroundings. Please, do not be on your cell phone while driving through the parking lot.
If you are running a few minutes late for pickup, please call the school office, who will alert the teachers on duty. The teachers will wait with the student. In the case of bad weather, they will wait with them in the lobby.
Please, be on the lookout for the teachers directing traffic and follow their instructions.
STAY in the parking lot, do NOT enter the grassy area near the Convent! This is where the students will be lining up for pick up.
Please pick up your child/ren and proceed to your car in a timely manner so we can get everyone home safely.
Please, make sure to remind your students in the morning if they are Rectory Line or Regular Car Line, especially if it is not their usual way home.
