Pick Up & Drop Off Procedures

Please adhere to the drop-off/pick-up procedures described below:

Crosswalk: The safest legal place to cross Paramount and Cultivate is the crosswalk highlighted in red below. The City of Irvine provides a crossing guard to attend to the safety of pedestrians who utilize this crossing area. Motorists are reminded that it is illegal to enter the crosswalk while the crossing guard is anywhere in the crosswalk.        

Primary Drop-Off and Pick-Up: Kindergarten students’ parents must park on the street or in the lot and accompany their children to and from the classroom.  The green arrows below show the flow of traffic for motorists who are dropping off or picking up primary students (grades 1-3). The yellow area shows where they may be dropped off or picked up along the sidewalk only (please do not allow your child to exit the vehicle while in the passing/exit lane). The aqua lines below denote the appropriate flow of traffic after drop-off or pick-up has taken place.  Please pull all the way forward to drop-off / pick-up students.  

Upper Grade Drop-Off and Pick-Up: The green arrows below show the flow of traffic for motorists who are dropping off or picking up primary students (grades 4-8). The yellow area shows where they may be dropped off or picked up along the sidewalk only (please do not allow your child to exit the vehicle while in the passing/exit lane). The aqua lines below denote the appropriate flow of traffic after drop-off or pick-up has taken place.  Please pull all the way forward to drop-off / pick-up students.  

                    

We are encouraging all students who live in the immediate vicinity to consider utilizing a mode of non-vehicular transportation (walking, bicycling, etc.) to get to and from school. Your cooperation with this request will help to ease the congestion on our streets and in our lots before and after school.

                    

And finally, as a courtesy to the residents of our surrounding neighborhoods, please be considerate in your driving and parking practices. Please be mindful of your speed, observant of existing signage, and refrain from impeding access to or entering a gated neighborhood in which you do not reside. IPD traffic officers will be present occasionally throughout the year to “encourage and reinforce” your compliance and safe driving.

                    

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION WITH THESE GUIDELINES!
