Traffic should enter the front parking lot through the entrance on Marywood Lane. Traffic will exit the lot through the exit on the left when facing the school.

Car riders are dropped off in the front parking lot. Cars should pull up as far as possible before dropping off riders to keep the flow of traffic moving.

  • Morning: Cars drive up and drop students off in front of the main office. Adults supervise.  Parents who would like to walk their children to class need to park in the front parking lot.
  • Afternoon: Day care vans pick up students from the gym. Parents pull up and pick up students from the cafeteria. Adults supervise the car riders in the cafeteria and Adults supervise the daycare students in the gym.

The bus loop is at the opposite end of the school off Gayton Road. Cars are not allowed in this loop. The buses flow one way.  The bus loop is monitored in the morning and afternoon. Students may not get off the buses until 7:20 a.m. 

  • Morning: Two staff members help students cross as they arrive at the crosswalk. They walk on the bus loop sidewalk to class.  They are visible at all times to the person(s) on bus duty.
  • Afternoon: The Gayton Road walkers stand on the bus wall until the buses are dismissed, then walk as a group to the crosswalk.  One or two staff members will walk the students across the street.  Again, they are visible to those staff members on bus duty.
  • Morning:  The Cabin Creek Apartments. Parents are encouraged to walk their students to school. Students should walk on the sidewalk and then cross through the Marywood parking lot entrance and up the sidewalk. They need to then go to the front of the school to go through the metal detectors before heading to class.  A crossing guard is present to walk them across the street.
  • Afternoon: The Cabin Creek Apartments.  Students walk with a teacher up the sidewalk next to the gym toward Marywood Lane. The teacher walks them and a crossing guard makes sure they get across the street to Cabin Creek Apartments safely.
