Carpool

Lower School students are assigned carpool numbers and a specific drop off/pick up door, which is staffed by school personnel. To help the flow of carpool, parents should not arrive before carpool starts. If parking your car, park only in parking lots and not on the road where you could block traffic.
Cubs parents are encouraged to park in the parking lot and walk their youngsters into and out of the school building.

Middle School carpool flows on the east side of the McClellan campus to the cafeteria doors. Please form two lines on the outside, leaving the middle lane open so cars can exit when the child arrives. As you wait, pull your car up as far as possible. Do not park your car in the carpool area and leave.
