Optional 4th/5th Upper Drop Off Guidelines
Our gate on Lindero Canyon is an optional morning drop off area for our students, grades 1-5! Students who are in TK or K must be accompanied by a sibling in grades 2-5 in order to be dropped off at the Upper Loop. Additionally, we will use the Upper Loop for Kindergarten and their older siblings pick up on Wednesdays at 12:10 pm for those NOT STAYING for optional lunch ONLY. Please be sure to read the important guidelines below.
Guidelines for Optional Drop Off of 4th/5th Grade Students at the Lindero Canyon (Upper) Gate
Why?
Optional use of the Lindero Canyon Gate for students will alleviate traffic and shorten the car line at the front of the school during morning drop off. Yay!
Who?
The gate on Lindero Canyon is for 1st-5th graders. Younger students may not use the upper gate unless accompanied by the older sibling.
When?
Morning drop off only for 1st-5th grade begins at 7:30 am for optional breakfast, which is served until 7:45am. Drop off ends at 7:55am SHARP. The gate at the top as well as the gate at the back of the MPR will be locked promptly at 7:55 am. Do NOT leave a student unattended at this time, as the gate will be locked behind staff who are reporting to the classrooms. If arriving after 7:55 am, the parent must use the drop off loop at the front of the school and the student will proceed to the front office for a late pass if needed.
How? Enter the area carefully and pull all the way forward. Have the backpack ready to go. Do not get out of your car. Students must walk to the gate, proceed down the ramp, and enter along the backside of the MPR to the lunch tables or black top depending on arrival time. Minimal assistance will be available so all students must be able to exit the vehicle independently. Use the outside lane only to exit the area.
What NOT to do…
Do not drop off a student off from the outside lane. It’s not safe!

How?
Enter the area carefully and pull all the way forward. DISPLAY YOUR CAR SIGN. Students will be accompanied up the ramp by staff and assist students to find their car and get inside. Use the outside lane only to exit the area.
