Carpool Safety & Procedures
Beginning on Monday, January 29, 2024, we will be instituting new campus traffic patterns to accommodate the construction of the new loop road. These traffic patterns will likely remain in place for the duration of the school year. We will be closely monitoring the traffic patterns and will adjust the process as necessary. In the meantime, we are extremely grateful for your patience and understanding.
Carpool Safety:
-
Please arrive only during your designated time. We stagger dismissal times to keep students safe and the carpool lanes moving smoothly.
-
Please drive courteously and be patient.
-
Please refrain from cell phone use while driving on campus.
Traffic Patterns:
-
All cars enter the main entrance off of Falls Road.

All cars entering campus must bear left as they reach the flagpole at the first fork in the road (where Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Thomas greet drivers in the morning).
-
The drop-off circle near the flagpole will now be used for bus drop-off and is closed to all other vehicles from 7:00-8:00 a.m. and 2:30-3:30 p.m.
