SAA-SDS Carpool information 2019-2020
PK2-Grade 8

Please do not instruct your children to go anywhere other than a designated carpool location for pick-up or drop off.  Adult supervision for the children is only provided at the locations below. The School cannot be responsible for your child's safety if you choose to deviate from our designated arrival and dismissal procedures. 
  • Early Childhood Center  for PK2-JK (Avon Road circular drive, dismissed 15 minutes earlier than 1-8; stay in right lane)
  • St. Dominic School K-6 (Avon Road circular drive, stay in left lane)
  • St. Agnes Lower School K-6 (Walnut Grove Road circular drive- at Arrival, children in grades K-3 must be dropped off in the lane closest to the building.)
  • Veritas Research Center  (Jr. High and Upper School ONLY- Jr. High-left lane; Upper School- right lane) ***
***2K-6th grade students are not allowed to go to the Jr. High or Upper School dismissal or parking areas.  Younger siblings must go to their designated carpool, where they will be supervised until their Upper School driver arrives.

  • Carpool cards will be issued on Registration Day, Monday August 7 to every family in PK2-8.  Please display the card in the front window of your car, where it may be easily seen by teachers helping to load the children and the crossing guards monitoring the traffic on Avon Road.
  • All PK2 children must be walked into their classrooms by a parent each morning. PK2 parents may park at Independent Presbyterian Church or on the West side of Avon Road to walk their children into the building.
  • PK2-JK children are dismissed at 2:45 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and 2:00 on Wednesday
  • PK2 children must remain at the ECC for pickup by an authorized individual. PK2 drivers must park on the west side of Avon Road or the Independent Presbyterian Church parking lot and walk in to pick up their children.
  • PK3-JK children have the option of dismissing from the ECC Carpool line with their class, or being escorted to an older sibling in the grade school (SAA or SDS) to dismiss with them.  A member of the faculty supervises the younger children during sibling dismissal.
  • Families with children in different locations (SAA or SDS) have the option to choose which carpool they will use.  Parents will instruct their children which carpool to report to (SAA or SDS)***
  • Younger children are not to be picked up at the Jr. High or Upper School dismissal, however Jr. High students may go to the younger child (SAA or SDS).  Grades K-8 dismiss 15 minutes later than the Early Childhood(PK2-JK), so parents may wish to adjust their arrival time so they will not hold up the line waiting for the older child to dismiss.
  • Do not drop off/pick-up your child on Avon Road, behind the Dining Hall or at Siena Hall in an attempt to avoid carpool lines.
  • There is NO PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF AVON ROAD for drop off or pick-up. Diminished visibility caused by parked cars endangers motorists and pedestrians.  During most days of the year, our good neighbor, Independent Presbyterian Church, graciously allows us to use their north parking lot during the school day for this reason.
  • PK2  parents ONLY are allowed to park on the WEST side of Avon to drop their children off.
***PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Siena Hall IS NOT a designated pick-up or drop off location
The area behind the Dining Hall IS NOT  designated pick-up or drop off location
