Car Rider Rules & Procedures
We need all parents to comply with the drop-off and pick-up procedures so that all students can arrive and depart in a safe and orderly manner.
SAFE DROP OFF
Car riders MUST be dropped off in the car rider line on Virgil Street. Car riders CANNOT be let out on Jefferson Street. All students need to wait in their cars until 7:30 AM. No student should exit their vehicle until they enter 1 of the 3 designated safe drop-off spots. If you arrive after 8:05, you will be REQUIRED to park in the spots provided for you in front of the marquee and large tree on the corner of Jefferson and Weidman. Pulling up and dropping off in the middle of the street is illegal, and Gretna will issue you a ticket.
SAFE PICK-UP
No child will be released to a vehicle without the official school issued number clearly displayed. (Car numbers must hang from the passenger visor.) If you do not have the official school issued number, you will be REQUIRED to to park in the spots provided for you in front of the marquee and large tree on the corner of Jefferson and Weidman, and go into the school office to sign your child(ren) out.
Students will be called to the car gate; they must wait until their vehicle stops in 1 of the 3 designated safe loading spots before they will be allowed to enter their vehicle. No child will be allowed to depart from the car rider gate unless they are entering a vehicle (with the official school issued number displayed) that is waiting in the Virgil Street car rider line. If you arrive after 3:10, you will be REQUIRED to park in the spots provided for you in front of the marquee and large tree on the corner of Jefferson and Weidman, and walk into the office and sign your child(ren) out.
WALKER'S GATE
Any student being picked up from the Walker's Gate must be picked up by those walking. This is not the shortcut gate for car riders. If you pull up to the gate in a car, your child and you will be directed to the Car Riders Gate and Car Line. If you have an emergency, please pull and park in the designated spots, and we will send your child to you.
