Car Rider Procedures

  • August 2023 Reminder: Car riders are required to remain in the side parking lot until a staff member prompts the line to move to the grass line by the auditorium (spots A, B, C, D, E, F). This will keep Faith Way a clear path until we are ready for the traffic to move. That means in the morning and afternoon, there should be no cars on Faith Way by the auditorium entrance until a staff member indicates it is time to do so. Please click HERE to open up a large aerial view of the building and parking lots to see how the traffic pattern moves around the building safely for car riders at morning drop off and afternoon pick up.

     

    • We will maintain the same traffic pattern and process with the students being called to the auditorium at 3:40 p.m. and the first student out the door around 3:45 p.m. Our final early dismissal through the office will be at 3:20 p.m. All other students will be picked up in the car rider line. 

    • Traffic Pattern MapUse this aerial view of the building and parking lots to help you to see how that traffic pattern moves around the building safely for car riders at morning drop off and afternoon pick up. This only applies for drop off at 9:00 a.m. and pick up at 3:40 p.m. For kindergarten pick up at 12 p.m. and drop off at 1:00 p.m., you will follow the procedures, communicated by your child’s kindergarten teacher, in the front of the building. You are required to remain in the side parking lot until the staff member comes out and prompts the line to move to the grass line by the auditorium (spots A, B, C, D, E, F). This will keep Faith Way a clear path in the morning and afternoon until we are ready for the traffic to move. That means in the morning and afternoon, there should be no cars on Faith Way by the auditorium entrance until a staff member indicates it is time to do so. 

    • How do we know who you are picking up? Please write your child’s first and last name in very large, bold print and hang this sign (click HERE then make a copy if you wish to type your child’s name) in your car in a place visible to one of our teachers or staff members, who will then send the names in order of cars to a staff member who will be in the auditorium organizing the students in order to come to your vehicles. If you are sending someone other than the people listed in Sapphire who are permitted to pick up your child, you MUST let the office and teacher know as well. 

    • Please complete this form HERE to let Ms. Sloan know that you are planning on starting your child as a car rider. You must also email the front office (vhoffman@pinerichland.org and mrussell@pinerichland.org) and your child’s teacher to notify them. The form will give Ms. Sloan gauge of the number of car riders to expect. Responses will be accepted until Tuesday, August 23, at 8:00 pm.
