Chamisa Families,

Thank you for helping make our first day of school a success! We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we work to improve arrival and dismissal procedures. Based on today’s experience, we are making a few adjustments for tomorrow, 8/11/26,  to reduce congestion and keep traffic moving safely.

1. Drop-Off & Pick-Up Lane
The drop-off/pick-up lane will begin closer to the upper playground entrance, near the parking lot exit. Please pull forward past the cutout in front of the building and follow the signs.
Students will enter and exit vehicles along the sidewalk beyond the cutout. Please do not stop in the cutout, as we need to keep traffic moving on Meadow.

For pick-up, students will gather near the Coalition (the round part of the building). Staff will help match students with vehicles as quickly as possible . If you are waiting longer than expected, please roll down your window and tell staff which student(s) you are picking up.

2. Families Walking to Pick-Up
If you park or walk to pick up your student, please do not gather near the front doors. Students will be waiting by grade along the front of the building. Please meet your child promptly, let their K–2 teacher know you have them, and exit campus.

3. Please Use the Drop-Off Lane
If you typically drive your student to school, please use the drop-off/pick-up lane rather than parking and walking to the front entrance.

4. Parking & Campus Entry
Both parking lots should be open. All vehicles must enter campus from Joya. The upper end of the drop-off lane is exit only (except for buses). No vehicles may enter from that location.

5. Meadow Parking
If you park along Meadow, please park only on the westbound side so eastbound traffic can continue moving.
 
6. Bikes
We will be moving additional bike racks to the front of the building. In the meantime, staff will help students find a safe place to store their bikes.

7. Safety First
Please drive slowly, watch carefully for pedestrians, and follow directions from crossing guards and staff. We appreciate your patience, kindness, and respect as everyone works together to keep our students safe.

Thank you again for your flexibility and cooperation as we continue to refine our procedures. We are learning together and will continue making adjustments as needed.
 
Sincerely,
Liz Meek
