    III. PICK-UP PROCEDURES

    Traffic Pattern

    REYNOLDS/BOGERT:

    Here are parent options at pick up. All patterns require cars to line up at one of four locations. 
    Cars will NOT be allowed to line up in lanes immediately adjacent to schools. Buses only will be in these lanes.

    Option I: Enter Bogert School via access road adjacent to firehouse and proceed to line up in circle.

    Option II: Enter by roadway SOUTH of tennis courts. Proceed to either:

    a.Staff parking lot (fill in empty parking spaces) and then proceed to form a double line up. This U-shaped line up accesses AND leaves by the roadway south of tennis courts.

    b.Form a double line up in parking lot which faces Bogert School. Cars in this lineup will be dismissed only after all busses leave at about 2:30 p.m. This line up leaves by roadway in front of Bogert School. 

    Option III (new since 06/07 school year): Vehicles may enter lanes NORTH of the tennis courts (those reserved for busses only in the morning). Form a double line with lead cars parked adjacent to pagoda. Personnel will direct you. These cars will leave by driving forward and egressing behind
    cars in Option II-b.
