Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures

The safety of all our students is our highest priority at Sage Canyon School.  Because of the high traffic that comes in and out of our school twice daily, we have designated procedures to accommodate and promote the smooth flow of traffic. We need all families to help and support the safety of all students and assist our school in being a good neighbor in our residential community. 
 
Upper Loop

Car Lane Procedures

  • Drivers may not use a hand-held cell phone at any time while driving in or around the school parking lot. 
  • Drivers should remain in the car. If drivers plan to get out, cars must be parked in a marked stall or on the street. Do not park along the red curb in front of the school. 
  • Remain in one lane, single-file at the curb when unloading in the drop-off areas in front of the school, and pull forward as far as possible in the line. Please be respectful and follow the instructions of the staff assisting so that the traffic flows. 
  • Have your child’s backpack next to them so that they can exit the car quickly. Do not place materials in the trunk or wait to pull up to the front of the line if you need more time for your child to exit the car.
 
Before School: (7:45 a.m- 8:00 am.) 
  • Parents/Guardians are welcome to enter campus before school begins, but must exit the campus by 8:00 am.
  • Breakfast for students will be provided in the morning starting at 7:30am. Supervision by school staff will be provided. 
 
Afternoon Pick-up: 
  • Students will meet parents/guardians after school in the car drive-through loop or outside the designated gates. 
  • Parents should leave campus promptly after reuniting with their children. 
  • As many of our students and families walk to and from home, please be mindful of your speed, and drive safely in and around our neighborhood. 
 

Bicycle, Scooters, Skateboards, and Zucas 

    • Independent bicycle & scooter riding is only allowed for 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. Younger students should ride with their parents to and from school. 
    • Riders are required by state law to wear safety helmets. 
    • Bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, skateboards, and Zucas must be walked when on school grounds.
