Parking Lot and Loading/Unloading

Parking Lot and Loading/Unloading Rules and Procedures

Adults set lifelong examples for the children at Silver Mesa Elementary.  Sometimes we tend to take risks that could endanger our children, especially if we are running behind schedule.  For the safety and well-being of students; families and students are to adhere to the following:

  1. Everyone follows the directions of the Crossing Guards, Staff, and Student Safety Patrol members.
  2. 5 MPH speed limit in the parking lot.
  3. Obey traffic signs.
  4. No cell phone use while driving in the parking lot.
  5. Children enter/exit vehicles along the marked/indicated pick-up and drop-off zones (see picture below school parking lot map).
  6. Please make sure that your children are ready to exit the car before you come to the drop-off zone.
  7. In the pick-up and drop-off zone, drivers remain in the car. All students should enter or exit the vehicle at the curbside from the passenger side.  No vehicle doors should open on the driver’s side of the vehicle. 
  8. If a child is not able to get out of the vehicle by themselves, the driver must park in a patron parking spot and walk the child through the crosswalk to the sidewalk.
  9. The Kindergarten play area is closed before and after school.
  10. The swings play area is closed before and after school.
  11. Bicycles, scooters, and skateboards must be walked on all school property.
