Alternate Safe Route to School and Parking Map

Parking Area Etiquette

We encourage those driving in from the east to use the Glade Rd route, indicated with yellow arrows on the map, to help with the traffic flow around the school. Turn on to Glade Rd from Hwy 34 at the Sandy’s Conoco Station.

The bus loop will be open for a Hug & Go drop off area once the buses have left.

Please do not arrive earlier than the posted drop-off and pick-up times as buses will be in the Hug & Go area. When entering the Hug & Go zone, please pull forward as far as possible to allow for additional cars. Students exit the vehicle next to the sidewalk. Once you have dropped off your child, please exit the Hug & Go area quickly, making a right turn onto CO Rd 27.

Drop-off and pick-up times

School drop-off
M, T, Th, F: 7:40 AM - 8:00 AM
Wed: 8:40 AM - 9:00 AM
School pick-up
Monday - Friday: 3:16 PM

Please use the parking lot if you need to enter the school. You do not have to walk your child into the school. Students should enter from the back entrance.

Pick-up and drop-off will not be allowed in the front for safety reasons.

It is suggested to car pool in order to reduce traffic. Please see the front office if you would like to be a part of the Big T area car pool.
