Flow of Traffic/Parking Lot Procedures

Traffic Flow and Parking

Our traffic flow and parking plan from 2020-21 will remain in effect for this coming year. To assist with the flow of traffic this year, we have made the following enhancements:

  • Parking lot lines re-painted (lane markings, cross walks, parking spaces): Please follows the markings as indicated in the diagram below
  • Sidewalk widened at waiting area: To increase student safety during drop-off/pick-up, we have widened the sidewalk thanks to a very generous donation by a VCS family

VCS Parking Lot

  • Lane 1: designated lane to the Preschool and K-2/Appointment Parking Spots
  • Lane 2: drop-off/pick-up ‘staging’ lane and for merging in/out of the drop-off/pick-up lane
  • Lane 3: drop-off/pick-up ‘staging’ lane
Please review the following information regarding our parking/pick-up/drop-off procedures:
  • Parents with EC only children are at campus for pick-up between 2:50-3:00pm.
    • Kindergarten – parents pick-up students at exterior door
    • Grade 1-2 – option to either have children proceed directly to parking lot or have parents pick up at playground
  • Parents with at least one SC child do not enter the pickup lane before 3:00pm.
  • Cars in the pick-up lane always pull as far forward as they can before stopping along the curb, and move forward as soon as a gap opens in front of them.
  • Students are diligent to watch and wait in a place where they can see that their parent has arrived in the pick-up lane.
  • Please have children exit/enter the vehicle on the passenger side whenever possible.
  • Never leave your vehicle unattended in any of the lanes.
  • Do not stop on crosswalks at any time.
  • When exiting the parking lot, please turn right between 8:00AM-3:30PM.
  • Cell phones should never be used while driving.
  • Traffic attendants will help direct vehicles & pedestrians during drop-off and pick-up.
  • Students who are waiting in the upper lot are to remain on the sidewalk and not play on the grass hillside.

Parking Spaces

  • Please remember that parking stalls are reserved after school for Gr. PreK-2 parents until 3:00pm.
  • *NEW*: After 3:00pm, stalls are available for any parents/guests as needed since the vast majority of K-2 parents have by then been able to leave with their children.
