Our number one goal is for Arrival and Dismissal to be both safe and quick for all families. Car lines will flow smoothly and quickly when these procedures are followed.

Traffic Flow Reminders:

• Remember that you are driving in an active SCHOOL ZONE; maintain slow and safe speeds.
• Follow the directions of the Crossing Guard, Security Guards, and Faculty and Staff.
• Always turn RIGHT when entering and leaving the parking lots and circles
• When in the car lines, drive as close to the right street curb as possible
• Pull all the way up to allow as many families as possible to drop off/pick up
• Avoid parking on side streets whenever possible
• Do not block intersections, driveways, or fire hydrants
• Do not cut/block other cars
• Never walk through the car lines during arrival or dismissal

Safety Reminder:

• Check to see that ALL your passengers are secured with seat belts or in the appropriate child car seat. It is the law! It only takes a second for a dangerous accident to occur.
• Please do not have car doors open while your vehicle is moving. If a child fell out of the vehicle, it might be too late for you or others to stop.
• Use of cell phones and participating in other distracting activities while driving can lead to a dangerous environment for our precious Trinity cargo. Please give your full attention to driving safely.
• Please remember that the designated dismissal spots are intended for cars only. Pedestrians should not be crossing car lines, and parents should have their children “in hand” while proceeding near these areas.
• Have your child exit and enter the car on the passenger side.

Dismissal Family Car Number: Trinity uses the Concierge Pad app to aid with dismissal. Each family will be assigned a number and will be issued two tags with that number. The tag should be hooked onto the rearview mirror for easy visibility by Trinity Faculty and Staff. Only Trinity Faculty and Staff will use the app.
When the family car arrives at the designated pick-up spot, a Trinity Faculty or Staff member will input the family Concierge Pad tag number into the app, which will then notify the Homeroom teacher/s to release the students to their dismissal location. Faculty and staff will be placed throughout the campus to ensure students are supervised as they travel to their designated dismissal location.
Late Pickup: Students will be placed in the Beyond the Bell (BTB) Program at 3:15 PM (Pre-K and K) and 3:30 PM (Grades 1-8) if they have not been picked up by that time. Parents will be responsible for BTB drop-in fees via FACTS or invoice.
