Middle School Pick-up Changes
Since the construction yard has reduced the number of middle school students that can be loaded into vehicles from 8 at a time to 3-4 with our current setup, CCS leadership has discussed moving to an open pickup procedure versus a traditional carline. This change allows for approximately 30-45 cars to avoid the elementary pickup line. By doing an open middle school pickup, this will hopefully reduce the amount of time parents spend in the pickup line.
Beginning September 6th, middle school is moving to open dismissal using the east parking lot which is currently the area used for the pickup line. Middle school students will be dismissed from the Student Ministries entrance. Middle school faculty and staff will be present in the east parking lot during this transition time as everyone adjusts to the different flow of traffic.
Please note the following important information regarding Middle School Open Dismissal
● Middle school parents will park by grade in reserved rows (refer to attached map). The first two rows closest to the Student Ministries entrance will be reserved for middle school parents with an elementary sibling.
● Middle school parents who have multiple children who are in grades 6th-8th should park in the row for the grade of your youngest child.
● Middle school parents who desire to exit left when leaving campus on Kingston Pike, should follow the normal flow of traffic towards the back parking lot to exit at the traffic light at Federal Boulevard (refer to attached map). Elementary pickup should be over by this time allowing for easy access to Federal Boulevard.
● Middle school parents desiring to exit right when leaving campus on Kingston Pike will use the east entrance (refer to attached map).
● If parents so choose, backing into a parking space may also help with the flow of traffic.
