St. Nicholas Academy - Traffic Pickup Procedures

Traffic Pickup Procedures

With the amount of cars doubling for our afternoon pick up I am concerned about student safety.  Whenever children and cars are moving at the same time there is a danger.  With this in mind we have developed the following system for afternoon pick up students by car.  I have assigned three staff members who will be on duty at 2:45.  They will assist in this dismissal.  Please know that I have put this in place with STUDENT SAFETY in mind: 

1. Enter the parking lot between 2:30-2:45 from Maryland and Deer Park Ave. from the Church facing the Cafeteria.  The line nearest the Maryland will be dismissed first followed by the other lines.  Please do not go past the orange cones placed nearest the cafeteria.   At 2:45 a teacher will raise the Stop sign and no one will be permitted to enter the parking lot until students have been picked up.
2. Students will gather at the cafeteria Sign and be dismissed to cars once entrance to the parking lot has stopped.
3. Teachers will direct Cars to leave via Deer Park Ave. in lines, (the line nearest Maryland Ave. will leave first followed by the next line etc. ) once all students are loaded.
4. Once the lines have been dismissed cars may pull into the parking lot to pick up students not leaving in the first exodus.
5. Please DO NOT enter or leave the parking lot via the drive way between the school and the rectory.
