Together with the Citrus Heights Police Department, City Planning, and our district’s Operations Department, the Mariposa Avenue staff has worked diligently to provide for a safe and effective pick-up and drop-off of students.Please help us keep all students and community members safe by following a few simple guidelines and procedures:
Drop off:
No earlier than 8:00 for students who eat breakfast at school;
No earlier than 8:10 for all other students;
Drop off students either at the parking lot or the drive through in the front of the school;
Drivers should remain in the car - do not park or leave your car;
Students should be ready to exit the car on the passenger side (curb side);
If the driver needs to exit the car, you should park in the designated parking lot.
Pick-up:
Parents of Kindergarten students ONLY (and siblings of kindergarten students) should use the drive through at the front of the school;
ALL other parents should use the drive through at the parking lot to pick up students;
Again, if the driver needs to exit the car, you should park in the designated parking lot.
The tables will be used for students waiting for buses and parents – we ask that once the dismissal bell rings that the tables be available for student use;
Buses and marked day care vans are the only vehicles allowed in the ‘bus zone’ (closest to the MP room).
Please be aware that Citrus Heights Police Department may issue citations on school grounds.Handicap parking is available in the parking lot.There is one area marked “handicap” in the front of the school.This is a drop off/pick up space only and its use is not exclusive to vehicles displaying the handicap placard.
Parents of Pre-School and Kindergarten should park in the parking lot and walk their students to class.Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in front of the school.
If you must pick up your child early from school, these rules apply.Please either park on the street or in the parking lot if you must leave your car.
If you must park on the street, please do not block our neighbors’ driveways; use the cross walks; do not call for your child to cross the street.WALK your child across the street.
By following these guidelines, we will work together to keep our students safe.Thank you
