Carpool Line Route
- Due to safety concerns, both morning and afternoon car riders must enter campus through Pine Grove Road. Car riders should not enter through the front entrance off Grayson Parkway.
- When exiting the carpool line, please do not make a left turn towards Grayson Parkway out of the GES drive. There is a posted “No Left Turn” sign.
- Please do not park in front of the gated driveway area of our campus. This is a designated “Fire Lane” and it is not a parent drop-off area. You may park directly across Grayson Parkway in the Community Park lot or in our designated Visitor’s Parking.
- Children may not cross the street alone when dropped off or picked up on the opposite sides of the street. They must be accompanied by an adult. Please do not cross through cars in our parent drop off and pick up traffic lane.
-
Morning Car Rider Drop-Off
- Students may not be dropped off before the first bell at 8:20 AM, unless your child is attending a school scheduled function (ie. chorus, tutoring, or special arrangements made with a teacher or administrator). Otherwise, students must be dropped off through the carpool line.
- No students may be on campus unsupervised prior to 8:20 AM. The building remains locked until 8:20 AM.
- Students may not be dropped off at the front gate, next door to campus, or across the street. If students are not dropped off through the carpool line, they must be accompanied into the building by an adult.
- All students who walk to school must have a walker tag approved through the front office and must be accompanied by an adult.
- Please monitor your speed through the carpool lane or on campus.
-
Afternoon Car Rider Pick-Up
- Checkout ends at 2:30 PM. If you arrive after 2:30 PM, you must pick up your child through the car rider line.
- We have a large number of afternoon car riders. For safety reasons, we can only call 13 cars at a time. If you are the first car in line, please pull all the way to the end of the sidewalk and turn to the right a little. This helps us fit 13 cars on the sidewalk.
- Please do not switch car rider lanes. Drivers who switch lanes will be asked to come inside the school to check out their children.
- All cars must have a GES-issued car rider tag. Please keep the car rider tag hanging from your rear view mirror until your child is inside the car. Our carpool attendants cannot see your car number tags on your dash or the side of your window.
- If you do not have a GES-issued tag, you will need to park and enter the school to check out your child. You will need to bring in proper identification (such as Driver's License) to check out your child.
- We cannot release other children to cars without the proper tag. If additional tags are needed, you can aquire extra car rider tags from the front office.

Message to Parents: Checkout ends at 2:30 PM
