CARPOOL SAFETY

We have a few reminders to share regarding traffic safety and carpool. Thank you in advance for following these instructions and for being courteous to each other. These procedures will help keep you and your children safe and will allow carpool traffic to move as quickly and efficiently as possible. 

  • Please do not enter the Lower School Carpool via Northaven Rd. between 7:25-8:15 each morning and 2:45-3:45 each afternoon. During carpool hours, Northaven is exit only. 
  • Please do not form a second line and have your child walk through the regular carpool line if you arrive for early childhood pick-up after lower school pick-up has already begun. 
  • Please do not exit from the lower school carpool via the Midway exit. 
  • Please have your carpool tags clearly visible before you enter campus. These tags help our officers to both better direct you onto campus and watch for cars who do not belong in our carpool line. 
  • Please keep your children seated with all body parts, including heads and arms, inside the car throughout drop-off and pick-up. For your child’s safety, please do not allow children to stand up through sunroofs. 
  • Please watch your speed when entering campus. Small children are very hard to see and can quickly dart out from between cars. The safety of all children is our number one priority. 
  • Please do not arrive for carpool pick-up ahead of your child’s release time. This will reduce everyone’s wait times. Your children are released from class for pick-up at the following times:
    - PreK – Primer                       2:50 p.m. 
    - First – Second Grade           3:05 p.m. 
    - Third – Fourth Grade            3:15 p.m. 
    - Fifth – Eighth Grade             3:30 p.m.
  • Excluding our mid-day PreK pick-up, there is no drop-off or pick-up of any students in front of Trinity Gym, Nichols Hall, Nix, or Kelsoe Cottage.  There are fire lane areas for emergency vehicles only. Please do not drop off or pick up your children from these locations. You may park if space is available and walk with your children to Kincaid or their designated location. 
  • Cars are allowed to pass to the farthest left in order to park when picking up their children. Please know they are not cutting in front of you as you wait or drive through the carpool line. 
  • Please do not park in the right lane in front of the church during carpool hours. We need this space for a carpool lane. 
  • Please be neighborly. When there is stacking on Midway or Northaven, do not block any street or alley access that is utilized by our friends and neighbors.
  • When you see our police officers, please thank them for their amazing service to us each and every day. We are very grateful for the gifts of their time and talent in rain, snow, or heat. They truly are a blessing to our community.

Your patience and cooperation helps us to make carpool safe for all. 

Warm regards,
