• The safety of our children is our first priority!  For the safety of everyone, please pick up and drop off on South Central - not in front of our school where buses load and unload.

    Back Circle - Please observe the following routine during arrival and dismissal:

    •During high traffic times, drive onto the upper back parking lot (accessible from South Central) and use the "turn around" at the north end of the lot.
    •Once turned around, face your car going south on the west edge of the lot (along the fence).
    •Wait patiently while children unload from cars or as we load children into cars in the circle drive on the passenger side only.
    •Please do not wave your children to cross the lot; it isn't safe.
    •When dropping off children in the circle drive, allow them to exit the car on the passenger side only for their safety.
    •Unless you are staying on the playground or at school for a while, do not park in the diagonal parking spaces on the upper lot - you will get blocked in.
    •Please honor the no parking signs on South Central in front of the playground.

    If we all do our part to preserve this procedures, it will eliminate the need to go around or "pass" the car in front of you.  Our supervisory staff has two-way communication and we will work to be efficient; however, we ask that you are patient and understand we all want our children to arrive and exit safely.

    Parking - If you must park and come in to school, we ask that you park in a one-hour zone on the street or on the back lot off South Central.  Several streets in the immediate Meramec area are zoned for one hour parking from 8:00 until 5:00.  Please do not park and block the front walkway where children enter the cafeteria and Clayton Kid Zone Program or the bus zone in front of our building.

    At the close of the school day teachers will escort their students through the two doors designated for exiting:
    East door (by gym) for car pool riders and walkers
    West door (across from office) for bus riders

    Please wait for your children outside of school to ensure that the school remains secure at all times.  Please come to the office to sign your child out if you are taking him/her before the school day ends or if he/she would usually ride the bus.

    If everyone does his/her part, we can avoid congestion and accidents.
