Carpool Procedures and Parking Lot Safety!

As we continue to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and families, we want to take a moment to review our school's updated carpool procedures. Due to recent incidents involving accidents in the parking lot, near misses with pedestrians, and the misuse of crosswalks, it is crucial that everyone take the time to review these procedures to ensure we are doing everything possible to keep our community safe.

 

Just like our expectations for your children, we expect everyone within the Legacy Prep community to act in a responsible, respectful, and safe manner. If we each do our small part, we can have a safe and efficient carline where everyone exits happily!

 

Please remember that compliance with the staff members working the carline is essential. They are there to help facilitate a smooth and safe process for everyone. Your cooperation and attentiveness make a significant difference in maintaining a safe environment for our students and families.

 

Carpool Procedures and Reminders:

When entering the parking lot for carpool:

The outside (right) lane is for:

Building 2 Junior High, main entrance

Building 1 Elementary, Leonardo/field entrance (grades 2-6)

 

The inside (left) lane is for:

Building 1 Elementary, main entrance (grades K-1)

 

 

Some helpful hints to aid in the efficiency of carpool:

  • Assume positive intent – If someone is not following the rules, perhaps they are new to our carline and need a friendly reminder.
  • Take turns at the entrance to the lot, this includes those who are entering through the East entrance. One car at a time like a zipper.
  • The right lane must turn right toward the field – the right lane will exit the school via the back of the building
  • Pull up to the crosswalk before stopping and allowing your students to exit the vehicle
  • Have your students ready to exit the car as soon as your vehicle stops
  • Students should exit the vehicle on the side closest to the building
  • Please DO NOT exit your vehicle while carpooling.
  • If you need to exit your vehicle for any reason, please park in one of the available parking spots.
  • Remember parking in the fire lane or the handicapped stalls without a permit is prohibited, even if just for a few minutes.
  • Please cross only at the designated crosswalks. The school has 4 designated crossing areas:
    • The east parking lot of the Junior High (NEW)
    • Between the two buildings (near the small playground)
    • Behind the Elementary Building (heading into the neighborhood)
    • In front of the Elementary School
  • NO LEFT TURN when exiting the elementary parking lot.
  • If you wish to exit using the new road please turn right when exiting the school and take a left turn at 2285 South, about a block south of the campus
  • Students and parents should only cross the parking lot in the approved spots (aka: the crosswalks). This keeps everyone safe!
  • Show respect to our neighbors!
    • Do not park in the All-Filters parking lot – They have asked nicely many times
    • Do not block the driveways of our very patient neighbors in the adjoining neighborhood
    • Talk to your children about not touching anything that does not belong to them

 

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to the safety of our school community.
