Kiss-n-Go Procedures:
Guidelines for dropping off students in the Kiss-n-Go lane and parking lot use:

The Kiss-n-Go lane is designed for drop-off only. Drivers should not exit the car or park in this lane at any time.
Students should exit the car from the passenger side to avoid traffic on the left. Students who need extra time to exit should have parents park in the lot and walk students through the crosswalk.
Please pull forward as far as possible (this includes going past the stop sign and the first sidewalk). Moving forward as far as possible allows us to get more cars in the lane and off of Forsythia Street.
Dropping off children in the parking lot is prohibited. Dropping off in this area is unsafe, slows down the flow of the cars in the Kiss-n-Go, and creates congestion in the parking lot. Parking in the lot and walking with your child is allowed.
Please only park in designated parking spaces in the parking lot. Please reserve the handicapped parking for those with designated placards/plates. (Parents often utilize the pool parking lot and walk up the sidewalk when parking spots are unavailable.)
Please do not cut into the line from the passing lane. This does not increase the flow of traffic but it does increase the risk of an accident.
Do not allow your child to exit the car while you are in the passing lane.
Once your child has exited your car, please progress through the lane to the exit. Do not wait and allow your car to block others from being able to drop off.
Above all, please be patient. The process will work if parents are patient and follow these guidelines. We have to trust that parents will work hard to do their part and follow the rules to ensure student safety as they are dropping them off.
