2024-2025 YHALE Carpool Instructions
Carpool Tags
At the beginning of each year, your child will be assigned a carpool number on a navy plastic sheet. The sheet includes cut outs of 2 carpool tag hangers, for the rearview mirror of your cars and 2 small tags for a child’s bookbag and lunch bag.
Carpool Times
Morning drop off begins at 8:00. Students need to arrive before 8:25. Carpool ends at 8:25am. After 8:25a.m, parents must park their cars and walk their students to the front door of each building. If students arrive after 8:30 am, their parents need to sign them in using the kiosk inside the building. Classes begin at 8:30 a.m.
Afternoon carpool is between 3:30-4:00 pm.
If you need to pick up your child before 3:30, arrive by 2:45 p.m. and check your student out.
Carpool Routes
Kindergarteners & siblings (1 & 2 grade):
Follow the Yellow Line on the map. There is a separate area just for kindergarteners & their siblings. We realize that many kindergarteners are still using 5-point harness car seats, and it takes just a bit longer to get in and out of vehicles. Therefore, the back parking area by the playground is the designated Kindergarten carpool area. Be ready to have your children exit your car on the passenger side backseat door.
1st & 2nd graders:
Follow the Blue Line on the map. Your child will be dropped off and loaded back up from the back seat of the driver side of your vehicle. In the afternoon, the first 20 cars will park facing away from the building and the students will be brought out at the start of the carpool.
3rd – 6th graders:
Follow the Orange Line on the map for the “new” building at 4450 River Green Parkway. Be ready to have your students exit your car on the passenger side backseat door. To be respectful to other tenants, please do not drive through the parking lots between our buildings and follow the Orange Line on the map.
In the afternoon, the first 40 cars will park facing the building in the spaces directly in front of the building (front entrance). Once the students are released, they will be brought out to the vehicles.
*Students will not be walked between buildings, so parents with students at both buildings will need to make two drop offs and pickups.
