Traffic flow procedures

Please note the following procedures for the 2008-2009 school year.

All cars enter the main MIS parking lot at Longmeade and exit at Dennis.


There are two options available when either dropping off or picking up children:
  1. Stay in your car in the traffic flow lane, or:
  2. Park your car and walk across the drive lane ONLY at the north crossing.


Drop Off Procedure:

• You must enter the school parking lot through the Longmeade entrance.

• If you are parking your car and walking your student into school or to the crosswalk, find a parking spot and walk your student to the crosswalk to the left (north) of the school entrance. You will see pylons and a school staff member directing traffic.

• If you are staying in your car and using the carpool lane, stay to the right and pull up as far as traffic allows. If you are the first car, drive forward until the “Stop Here” sign. Students must exit their vehicles on the passenger side. Please do not wait until you are the first car for your student to exit your vehicle. They may exit the vehicle as soon as you are stopped next to the sidewalk.

• You must exit the school parking lot at Dennis Lane.


Pick Up Procedure

• You must enter the school parking lot through the Longmeade entrance.

• If you are parking your car and walking to pick up your student, you must come from Dennis Lane onto Longmeade. Enter the MIS parking lot and find a parking spot. Walk to the crosswalk to the left (North) of the school entrance. You will see pylons and a school staff member directing traffic. Kindergarten students may be picked up in the open area at the north end of the kindergarten wing. Other students may be picked up from the teacher as they exit the school door. If the class is already out, please go to the flag pole area and ask the staff member with a communication radio and let them know which child(ren) you are picking up.

• In the event of significant rain, please enter the school front entry area. See the staff member with a communication radio at the Kindergarten doorway to have your Kindergarten or 1st grade child(ren) brought to you. A staff member will be at the top of the stairs for for the remainder of the students.
