MORNING DROP OFF PROCEDURES

Morning car rider drop off is at the side car rider door, #15, Holy Family Door of the school, beginning at 8:00 AM each school day. If the door is not unlocked please patiently wait in the car rider line with your children in the car. Be sure that your child is ready to disembark when you stop. Children must use the sidewalk.
-Please form one line and pull up as far as possible to the walkway to the door and then let your child(ren) disembark.  Six to 7 cars can unload at one time to move things along more quickly.
The car rider line is ONLY for children who are able to get out of the car without assistance. If you have to put your car in park to help your child out of the car or to get something out of the trunk you must  park in a parking spot and walk your child up to the door.
-Please follow the yellow lines on the map when dropping off children. Please note that the road between the school and the playground/ministry center is a two-way street.  DO NOT drive into the incoming traffic lane on the hill near the ministry center. If you do not want to wait in the dropoff line and want to park to walk your child in you may follow the yellow line around the back of the school to get to the parking lot. Failure to obey this rule will cause an accident.
-Unless you are parking, please try to stay out of the red area.  Peopling exiting this way causes confusion and is dangerous for families walking to car rider door.  Please use the blue arrows to exit the campus.
-Do not speed through the parking lot.  There are children walking through the parking lot.
-Please do not cut around other cars in the car rider line.  This is dangerous for families walking to the car rider door and other drivers leaving the campus. 
-Families walking to the door, please walk to cross walk next to the entrance to the car rider door and cross the parking lot there. It is difficult for drivers to anticipate where you will be cutting through cars and where the children are. It is difficult for drivers to see the children walking in the parking lot. Please stay with your children at all times– do not let them dart into the car rider line. Do not use the parking area as a drop off location.
-Drop off ends at 8:15.

*THE CHILDREN ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHEREVER YOU HAVE TO BE– DO NOT PUT ANYONES SAFETY AT RISK TO SAVE 2 MINUTES IN YOUR DAY.
Your cooperation in the matter is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.
 

AFTER SCHOOL CAR RIDER PICK UP PROCEDURES

-AGS will dismiss from the Holy Family door, aka Car Rider Door (door #15), for all days, including Farmer's Market Days.  This is the same door used for drop off in the morning.  Pick up begins at 2:45 after dismissal.

-Parents are to park their cars anywhere and come to the door.  This is to eliminate cars backing up onto Beaver Grade Road.  Robinson Twp. Police prohibit the backup as it could restrict Public Safety vehicles from moving.

-Staff will NOT be bringing students to their cars.  In the interest of safety, cars are not allowed to pull away while students are walking to their cars.

-Please have your family sign held up so that the staff can call out names.  The new signs have the AGS logo and are laminted so that they will last the entire school year.  The staff will ONLY dismiss students to this laminated family sign for safety and security reasons.  If you need replacement or additional signs please contact the school office.

-You can exit the campus via Beaver Grade Road or Steubenville Pike.  Please remember that the last bus usually does not pull into campus from Steubenville Pike until 2:55.  Please be mindful of the buses and allowe them room to get to the gym doors.

FARMER'S MARKET PICK-UP PROCEDURES

• The entry/exit points into the pick-up area are clearly marked on the map for parents.  
• Entry from Route 60 will be re-directed to the left, around the back of the school, and up the ramp next to the playground.  (The reverse will be used for cars to exit.)
• Entry from Beaver Grade Road is not impacted.  
• Teachers/Staff should park vehicles on the side of the building near door #2 in the morning, so they won't be interrupted during the day to move their cars.  This will also leave more spots open in the lot for parents to park between the school and parish office.
• All cars should be clear of the market area by 12pm.
• No traffic will be permitted to drive through the market area after 1pm - this is when volunteers and vendors will begin set up.  
• Cones will be in place to restrict vehicles from driving through the market area.  
• Cones will also be placed to define a 'loop' for exiting the pick-up area, utilizing the first two parking spaces in the center row.  
• Parents can park in any of the areas outlined in green on the map.  
• No parking is permitted in the areas outlined in orange on the map.
