2024-2025 Carpool Procedures

Carpool Sign Order Form 

Please display your carpool sign in your window so a staff member can see it and read the name(s). This will facilitate a safe and efficient carpool. To purchase additional carpool signs for $5.00 click HERE.

Morning Drop-Off

To facilitate the morning carpool, the 5th Grade Safety Patrol helps students exit their vehicles, collect their belongings, and enter the building. 

 

Kinder-8th drop off location: the School Garden Entrance (Spring Valley parking lot under the school wing awning). 

 

SJCS offers an Early Morning Drop off where you may drop off your child at 7:15 am for a small fee of $10 per month (unlimited early drop-off) ($5.00/month for each additional child).  This will be billed through FACTS at the end of each month.  

Regular drop-off is from 7:30am until 8:00am. 

 

PreK-8th: After 8:00 am, you MUST park and walk your child(ren) into the office. Please use the Spring Valley parking lot and enter the building at our main school entrance (between the school building and the church building). 

 

Please see the map below that illustrates our morning drop-off procedure.

Afternoon Pick-Up

Please read the pick-up directions that apply to your family: 

PreK -4th Grade Pick-Up: 3:10 PM

 

If you arrive before carpool begins, we ask that you park in the area designated by the green square on the map and form a line. The line will begin moving at 3:05pm and will be completed by 3:25pm. Although it will appear to be a long line of cars, with everyone's cooperation the line will be completed in 15 minutes. 

Please arrive at the Spring Valley side entrance.  Pull into the second entrance and then turn right into the church parking lot.  Follow the map to the pick-up location next to the School Garden Entrance (Spring Valley parking lot under the school wing awning).  After picking up your child(ren), turn left out of the parking lot and proceed back out the same entrance you came in or turn right to pick up Pre-K and Kinder.

 

Make sure to pick up siblings first and then proceed to Pre-K and Kinder.

 

PreK- PreK will line up in the line per the map. For everyone's safety, stay in one lane throughout the pickup process. Do not try to pass other vehicles. Park in the drop-off area for Pre-K and proceed to door to receive your child from the Pre-K teacher.

 

Kindergarten-Kinder will line up in the line per the map. For everyone's safety, stay in one lane throughout the pickup process. Do not try to pass other vehicles. Continue around the building to park under the Jupiter side awning for students to be loaded into vehicles safely. Exit on to Jupiter and make a right turn only to keep the traffic flowing. 

 

5th - 8th Grade Pick-Up: 3:30 PM - 3:45 PM

 

Please do not try to line up for the 3:30 pm dismissal before 3:15 pm. The lower school carpool is in progress and there will be a long line of cars waiting.

Please arrive at the Spring Valley side entrance. Pull into the second entrance (farthest from the church) and then turn down the second row (close to the football field) reserved for the 5th – 8th grade parents.  At 3:30 pm, you will follow the map to the pick-up location next to the School Garden Entrance (Spring Valley parking lot under the school wing awning).  After picking up your child(ren), you may turn either left or right to exit out of the parking lot.  If you turn left, you will need to follow along the field and make your way out the same way you entered.  If you turn right, you must turn right when you exit on to Jupiter.
