Northside Middle School

Car Rider Procedure - AM

We intend for our AM traffic pattern of student drop-off to provide a safe and efficient start to the day.  Nearly 300 students arrive by car between 7:15 and 7:45 each day.  To keep this as safe and efficient as possible, please follow these guidelines:

• Drop-off is only on the north side of the building.  Do NOT drop off on 27^th Street, Maple Street, or along the west side (St. Bartholomew) of the building.

• Pull forward all the way to the crosswalk or until the car in front of you stops.

• Unload along the curb only, not into the lane of traffic.

• If you choose to pass after unloading, proceed with caution.

• Be attentive at all crosswalks.

• Maximum speed is 15 MPH on school property.

• Students may NOT be dropped off in the parking lot.

• It is important to keep the car line moving.  Please write lunch money checks and sign papers before arriving at Northside.

Car Rider Procedure - PM

This year has been the best parent pick-up we can remember.  Thank you so much to each of you for following our safety procedures.  It is a busy time of day for traffic because St. Bartholomew, Schmitt, Columbus North and Northside are all releasing.  To keep this as safe and efficient as possible, please follow these guidelines:

• Pick-up is only on the north side of the building.  Do NOT pick-up on 27^th Street, Maple Street or along the west side (St. Bartholomew) of the building.

• Students may NOT be picked up in the parking lot.

• Pull forward as far as possible.

• Encourage your student to come outside immediately after the dismissal bell.  The quicker he/she gets to your car, the faster the line moves.

• The last car each afternoon has gotten through by 3:25.
