The morning drop-off at Kenter is a convenience for both parents and the neighborhood, to alleviate lack of parking spaces and traffic on the streets. We need parents to volunteer at the drop-off locations (traffic duty) on designated weeks (by grade and classroom) throughout the year. Each class is responsible for manning one gate/location approximately once a month, 2 parents per day. See the attached document for your classroom's schedule and keep your eyes open for emails from the Traffic Coordinator for your child's classroom requesting volunteers. Please click the "Read More" button or view the attached sheet for important Safety Information related to traffic duty. NOTE: If we cannot safely run our drop-off process, LAPD will not allow us to continue, so please do your best as drivers and volunteers to comply with traffic safety rules!
DROP-OFF PROCEDURES
Children in grades 1 5 may be dropped off at between 7:50 and 8:10 a.m. Kindergarteners must be walked to the entrance gates and handed off to an adult. To help us teach our Kindergarteners to become more independent and to reduce the number of people on the playground, we ask that the students be handed off at the gate and respectfully ask that parents not enter the playground in the morning.
After drop-off, students go to the South Playground where supervision is provided until the bell rings. Students may not go to their classrooms or to the North Playground because there is no supervision in those areas.
South Gate
1. Driving north on Kenter, turn left onto Homewood and drop off on North Side of the street, just outside the entrance to the play yard.
2. Drive to the front of drop-off area.
3. Wait for a parent volunteer to come to the car to help your child out of the car.
Safety considerations:
- Obey stop signs both on Kenter Ave and Homewood Rd.
- Do not drop off on the South Side of the street.
- Drive slowly and watch for passing drivers and foot traffic in this area.
On rainy days, this gate is closed use the front of school drop off instead.
Front of School
1. Driving north on Kenter, turn left into the front parking lot.
2. Continue to the far end of the drive-through area where the volunteers are located.
Safety considerations:
- Be careful when passing the handicapped parking spots to the right of the parking lot entry.
- Obey the stop sign at the end of the drive-through.
- Drive slowly and watch for passing drivers and foot traffic in this area.
All parent volunteers will strictly enforce the above safety rules. The parent volunteers who assist the morning drop-off are not responsible for any injuries caused to you or your child/ren during the drop off. Each parent driver is responsible for ensuring that your child/ren is/are dropped off in a safe manner.
