Kiss and Ride Policy and Procedures·
During morning Kiss and Ride please do not drop your JK/SK child off if there is not a staff member present. Please park your vehicle in the designated parking lot and enter the school with your child.
· Please stay in your vehicle always while in the Kiss and Ride line up. The driver is NEVER to exit the car to assist students to exit or enter the vehicle. Kiss and Ride should only be used if your child is independent at getting in and out of the vehicle.
· When dropping off a student, the student remains in your vehicle until you reach the "blue drop-off zone", Students are not to get out of vehicles unless in this area or as directed by a staff member.
· Please remain in the kiss and ride line. Drivers will be asked to move up once space becomes available or directed by a kiss and ride supervisor.
· Do Not BACK UP at any time.· The parking lot is only able to hold 20 vehicles in the 'waiting' lane prior to Kiss and Ride opening at 3:30. If you arrive before Kiss and Ride begins, and the lot is full, you must park your car around the perimeter of the roundabout to wait for access to the parking lot. Cars may not block the entrance/exit of the school parking lot by waiting to turn left into the school while the lot is full. A sign will be put on the driveway to indicate when the lot is full. You can park at Meadowvale 4 Rinks until the lot re-opens.
· Cars must have access to drive up and down Torquay Mews and in and out of the driveways- our own and the driveways of other businesses. This is to ensure safety of all individuals and to respect municipal bylaws.
