We
have
an
established
traffic
lane
called
"Kiss
&
Ride"
designated
as
a
safe
place
for
adults
in
private
vehicles
to
load
and
unload
children.
This
route
is
separate
from
the
school
bus
loop,
which
helps
us
to
avoid
problems
associated
with
cars
intermingling
with
buses.
It
also
establishes
a
pedestrian
traffic
pattern
to
protect
our
students.
If
all
drivers
cooperate,
the
adult
supervisors
will
be
able
to
provide
an
efficient
and
protected
transfer
of
children.
The
following
Kiss
&
Ride
information
helps
us
work
together
to
keep
all
Mountain
View
children,
parents,
and
staff
safe
during
arrival
and
dismissal
from
school.
Each
family
who
wishes
to
drive
their
child/children
to
or
from
school
will
register
and
receive
two
numbered
tags.
If
you
need
more
than
two
or
lose
your
tags,
there
will
be
a
$5.00
fee
for
replacements
or
extras.
You
will
keep
these
for
as
long
as
your
stay
at
Mountain
View.
You
will
need
to
complete
a
registration
form
and
show
your
ID
to
receive
a
tag
with
a
designated
number.
This
should
be
placed
on
the
mirror
in
the
front
windshield
of
your
car
visible
to
the
staff
during
each
pickup.
Your
child/children
should
commit
the
number
to
memory
to
hasten
pickup
at
the
end
of
the
day.
Students
will
wait
in
the
gymnasium
to
be
called
when
their
vehicle
is
one
of
the
first
five
in
line.
AM Kiss and Ride
- Begin unloading your children at 8:55 am. Let students out of your vehicle as soon as you stop and do not wait to drive up to the main sidewalk.
- Please use the Kiss and Ride lanes and observe safety rules to keep the flow of traffic moving.
- Please do not block the entrance and exit of the bus loop so they can enter and exit in a timely manner. Busses have right of way.
- Please enter into an Agreement for Safety showing you have read and agree to follow the Kiss & Ride rules. Contract is posted under procedures.
- Pull forward as far as possible into the designated Kiss & Ride lane before loading or unloading.
- Load and unload in the Kiss & Ride area only.
- Load and unload from the right side of the vehicle only.
- Keep "good-byes" brief.
- Remain in the driver's seat.
- Do not park in the Kiss & Ride lane and leave car unattended.
- Do not park in the parking lot or at the side of the street and call to children.
- Exit the Kiss & Ride promptly after loading or unloading children.
- Please park in the lot if you plan to monitor your child's entrance into the school building. This helps prevent a long line of traffic from forming.
- The tardy bell rings at 9:15 and the children should be in their rooms before it rings. Encourage them to walk swiftly into the school and go straight to their classroom.
Students arriving after the bell should be accompanied to the office by an adult. A sign at the end of the sidewalk will indicate that the bell has rung.
PM Kiss and Ride Dismissal
- Please encourage your children to walk down the sidewalk to enter vehicles as soon as possible. Children will enter cars several at a time. These cars may pass on the left and depart so the next car can pull up. Please pay attention to the directions of the school staff who are directing each day.
- Children will only be permitted to enter a car on the right side from the sidewalk.
Children will only be dismissed through the Kiss and Ride line or Parent Pick up in the gymnasium. Parents shall not stand across the parking lot and have a child walk to them. When waiting in the Kiss and Ride line, please ensure you are not blocking the entrance or the exit to the bus circle.
