Saint Patrick School strives to provide the utmost care for our students throughout the school day, but this is especially true regarding car line procedures. While an efficient carline is our desire, our number one goal is the safety of your children.
All students will be dropped off and picked up at the PAC (Parish Activity Center).
For arrivals after 8:00 AM, please accompany your child/ren to the office and complete the sign-in process. This ensures they are properly accounted for, although they may be marked as tardy.
School Schedule
Ensuring a safe and efficient carline experience for our students is a shared responsibility. Please take note of the following important guidelines:
Speed Limit: The speed limit on school property is 5 mph. Please adhere to this limit at all times for the safety of our school community.
Wait for Supervision in Morning Car Line: Do not drop off your student until a teacher, staff member, or volunteer is in the parking lot. This helps ensure a smooth and supervised drop-off process.
Safe Exit: Students should exit the vehicle from the right (passenger) side, even if multiple children are in the back seat. They should all exit on the side closest to the school building.
Assistance in Carline: Parents, please refrain from exiting your vehicle during morning or afternoon carline. If your child needs assistance getting out of the car in the morning, our dedicated student, parent, or staff volunteers will be there to help.
Picking Up at the Office: For the safety of all students, children may only be picked up at the office at the end of the day if prior arrangements have been made by 12:00 PM, except in the case of an emergency. In an emergency, please call the office at (717) 249-4826.
Building Access: Parents are not permitted to enter the school building at dismissal time for security reasons.
Is Your Child Going Home with Another Family? Any changes in routine transportation arrangements must be communicated via a written note or email from a parent or guardian to the front office at [email protected] and the respective teacher.
Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to ensuring the safety of all our students during carline procedures. Your attention to these guidelines is greatly appreciated.
