For Car Riders

Morning Drop Off Information:
Here is the map to show how to navigate our lot in the morning.
CLICK THE LINK:Car Rider Drop-Off Map
When you approach Redland MS, you MUST enter at the large lot entrance. DO NOT ENTER BY THE SIGN BOARD. This is for staff and buses only. You will follow the traffic cones around to the DROP ZONE. Please make certain your student is ready to be dropped off.  The speed limit is 5 MPH in the lot and DO NOT PASS a car in the drop zone. Students exit cars on both sides.

If you need to park to get ready or take a minute to say goodbye, you should park in the first spaces to the right when you ENTER the large lot. Please do not park in the visitor spaces or the Staff Only parking in the first row to wait. This creates a traffic jam when you prepare to leave.

Afternoon Pick Up Information:
Here is the map to show how to navigate our lot in the afternoon.

​​When you enter the lot, you will proceed to the front of the first lane. The line starts there. You will form TWO LINES, leaving the middle of the lane open. You must pull forward to fill the gaps. If you wish to park, this year you will park in the last line of spaces in the lot. DO NOT park in the visitor spaces.

When students are dismissed, please be patient. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR. As the students cross into the lot using the crosswalk, they will begin to walk to your car. This takes about two minutes. Once you have your student, you may begin to exit the lot. Take your time and watch for students.
​
When the car in front of you leaves, please pull forward. This allows the line to continually move forward and for cars to exit efficiently. Again, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR. Please wait in your car or you may stand at the drivers door to make sure your student sees you. If you wish to walk up and wait by the crosswalk, you MUST PARK in the rear of the lot.
​
We will be out in the lot to assist the first few weeks of school. Please remember to be patient. Our car rider line gets very full, especially on rainy days.
​
Finally, we have a crossing guard at the entrance to assist students crossing Muncaster Mill Rd and to assist buses as they depart at 3:08pm. The crossing guard will assist cars to enter and exit but their main responsibility is the students.
