Safe Walking Routes
Loading and Unloading Procedures
HILL HAVEN LANE IS ON DROP-OFF/PICK-UP SITE FOR PERUVIAN PARK ELEMENTARY. In order to improve safety procedures for our students and decrease waiting time for parents, please follow the procedures below. Always move forward as far as possible before stopping to let students exit/enter the car.
1. To drop off your child, please pull forward as cars exit the curb. STUDENTS MUST EXIT CARS FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ONLY ONTO THE SIDEWALK as soon as the car is safely stopped. They should immediately move to the fence “safety zone” to walk to the stairs on the south end by the corner. Please check for approaching traffic as you exit the lane. Pull forward whenever possible. As gaps open up in the drop-off lane, more cars will be able to pull forward into the empty spots.
BE AWARE OF STUDENTS CROSSING THE STREET AND OTHER CARS IN THE THRU LANE AS YOU EXIT. Please drive at 5 MPH until clearing the areas where children are present.
2. The drop-off lane may not be used to park your car. You must remain in your car to pull into this lane. If you wish to enter the school or walk with your child, please park elsewhere. **No U-TURNS are allowed on Hill Haven Lane.
AFTER SCHOOL
4. At dismissal time, students will stand against the fence in the “safety zone” until they see their car stop. Please pull all the way forward and let your child come to you. They will then enter the car from the passenger side only. No children will be allowed to cross through traffic, even with a parent escort.
Main Entrance Drop Off
1. To drop off/pick up your child, please pull into the far-right red lane. STUDENTS MUST EXIT/ENTER CARS FROM THE RIGHT SIDE ONLY ONTO THE SIDEWALK as soon as the car is safely stopped. They should immediately walk to their line-up area and leave the sidewalk clear. As you leave the drop-off lane, you will move to the left into the thru lane. Do not drive through the drop-off lane to exit. Please check for approaching cars as you exit the lane. Please pull forward whenever possible. As gaps open up in the drop-off lane, more cars will be able to pull forward into the empty spots.
2. Please DO NOT STOP in the thru lane to let your child out of your car. NO STUDENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXIT CARS IN THE THRU LANE. The thru lane will ONLY be used for cars leaving the parking lot.
3. The drop-off lane may not be used to park your car. You must remain in your car to pull into this lane. This is a no-parking zone. If you wish to enter the school or walk with your child, please park elsewhere.
AFTER SCHOOL
At dismissal time, students will stand along the outside of the sidewalk in the “safety zone” until they see their car stop. Please pull all the way forward and let your child come to you. They will then enter the car from the passenger side of the car.
WALKING STUDENTS
Walking students and students whose parents have assumed responsibility by dropping them elsewhere should always cross streets at the crosswalk and immediately enter school grounds. Students exiting the school grounds via 8425 S. should cross at the corner crosswalk with the crossing guard.
**Please note the bus zone on the east side of the school. This is a no-parking zone.
Thank you for considering the safety of our students. We want to make this process safe for students and efficient for you. Your cooperation is appreciated.
