• ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE PROCEDURES
All parents are expected to follow the directions of those assigned to help direct traffic in the morning or afternoon. The only consideration in the development of these rules is the safety of the children. Speed or convenience are not to be put above the safety of the children. Be sure that any persons who may be coming to school to pick up or drop off children are aware of these rules. Also, insist that they be obeyed by these persons as well as the children. The safety patrol is comprised of students who help with direction.

Morning: Enter off Thornton or St. Edward Street. Come to the aisle closest to the CCD/Hall buildings. Proceed toward the school until you come to the lane which leads to the exit gate. Drive as far forward as directed before allowing children to leave the car. Only when you are completely stopped may the children leave the car. Please have them leave as quickly as possible so the line will not be held up unduly. NEVER pass a car on the right side -- this is the side children are exiting. Children are to go directly to the school yard then. If you park and walk your child to the yard, you must cross the car line at the painted cross walk. Do not cross the line at any other point. If you wish to park in the morning and come into the school, you may only park on the side of the parking lot nearest the classrooms, not in front of the parish hall. You are asked to use the crosswalk in walking your child/ren into school.

Afternoon: Follow the above car line procedures or park in a designated parking space. Children may only enter cars which are stopped in the car line or are properly parked. Children in grades K-4 are to be walked across the parking lot by an adult. All children wait in front of the school office area behind the brick wall.
Students not picked up after 3:20 p.m. ( 2:35 p.m. on Wednesdays, 12:35 p.m. on minimum days) will be placed in the After School Program (Kids' Club) and charged accordingly.

• VISITORS / VOLUNTEERS
When visiting the school campus for any reason, parents and visitors are asked to sign in at the school office and to pick up a visitor's badge. Parents are asked to wear their personal name badges given at the beginning of the school year. Parents/Visitors are asked to sign out and return the badge upon departure. Parents/Visitors should not go to the classrooms for any reason without first checking in the office.

• UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS
All staff members are instructed in and make use of universal precautions when dealing with any student injury or illness. Students also receive instruction in how to respond appropriately to an injury or illness of a fellow student. They are expected to seek help of an adult in any serious situation, or whenever a cut, bleeding or bodily fluid is involved.
