Pick Up and Drop Off

Parking is a challenge at Jefferson, but with your help we can make it run a little smoother.

Morning Drop-Off Procedures:

Families will enter through the 10th street entrance and pull into the right lane (closest to the building). This will be the only lane open in the morning. Please pull forward as far as possible and drop-off as quickly as possible.  Please have students prepared to exit the vehicle when you pull up to the school as this will help us make the morning drop-off as efficient and safe as possible. Should you feel the need to watch your child enter the building, please pull into a designated parking space and either step out of your vehicle to watch or walk them up to the building. This prevents traffic from backing up.

Afternoon Pick-Up Procedures:

When picking-up we ask that you stay in your vehicle as this will allow us to implement this new procedure with accuracy, efficiency, and the highest level of safety.  Please support us by following the procedures. We are aware this process takes a little bit longer than in the past but as a parent I know you would agree the safety issues outweigh the time.

Late arrivals or early release:
Parents, dropping of late arrivals or picking up early departing students are asked to only come through the 10th street entrance, as all building exits are locked from the outside after the beginning of school. Parents are asked NOT to park in the yellow curb areas or by the cones when doing so, but rather find an empty space within the lot. The early departure students must be checked out of the office by an adult.

WE HAVE MANY PARENTS THAT COME UP THE WRONG WAY… THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR OUR STUDENTS. IT ALSO SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE TO OUR STUDENTS AS WE ARE TEACHING AND RETEACHING HOW TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES.  PLEASE SUPPORT US BY FOLLOWING THE SAME EXPECTATIONS.

Thank you for your cooperation and for being part of the Jefferson Jet family.
