DROP OFF

• Location: Parents dropping off students should do so at or around the covered drive area on the west side of the church. Please DO NOT drop off students in front of the REC or PMC as this creates too many places where traffic backs up and students are leaving cars or walking in front of vehicles.

• Exiting: When entering from the North driveway for drop-off, go straght to area between the chapel and the covered drive, then head out the East driveway. From the East driveway, you can drive through to the covered drive and exit the North driveway.

• Parking: Students and parents parking for the evening are asked to park in the parking area south of the chapel and carefully walk to the Parish Hall. Drivers and walkers should show care and courtesy to those around them.

DURING CLASS

• Attendence: Students are NOT ALLOWED to leave the program area of the campus. This is normally the Parish Hall, but may also include the REC (for small groups) and the field areas in between. For the safety of the students, they MUST remain with the group.

• Early dismissal: If there are specific needs (early departure for work or family reasons, etc) for students to leave early, they should communicate to one of the Adult Leaders at the beginning of the meeting when they need to leave and why, and then to check out with an adult leader BEFORE leaving. • Location: Parents picking up students should do so at or around the covered drive area on the west side of the church. Please DO NOT pick up students in front of the REC or PMC. We must control the dismissal of students from one point and failure to do so will cause us to have sign-out procedure which no one wants to do.

• Exiting: When entering from the North driveway for pick up, go straight to area between the chapel and the covered drive, then head out the East driveway. When entering from the East driveway, drive through to the covered drive and exit the North driveway.
