Dear Cardinal Newman Families,
Below are the guidelines for Pick-up, Drop-off, and Driving onto campus at the start and end of the school day, as well as during the school day.
Morning
ALL non-drivers (Car Pool Drop Off) will take place at the Main Gym Entrance between 7:30-8;30am daily. There is no drop off at the Front of the School for 2021-2022 school year unless you are a Late Arrival arriving after the 8:30am bell, at which point you will be dropped off in front of the school at the Main Office to sign in.
Traffic Pattern for morning drop off - please pull in the Main Entrance by the CN Sign off Alpine Road, while staying straight towards the tennis courts. Please remain straight around the tennis courts (Do NOT turn in the first turn by the school building D-Wing, but continue straight around the tennis courts). You will then take the immediate right on the other side of the tennis courts by the corner of the softball field before entering the rail gate to the back of campus. Once you turn right, you will then follow the traffic flow and arrows by curving around the faculty lot keeping the tennis courts on your right driving towards the D-Wing Building, then taking a left and curving along the carpool sidewalk before stopping at the Gym Entrance Covering to drop off. This is for all grade level students that do not drive. Once you drop off, you will pull forward alongside the Gym towards the softball curving back around to the stop sign at corner of tennis courts/rail gate/softball, then taking left to head back towards Alpine Rd and exiting back out of Main Entrance.
Student Drivers will enter the student lot, which is the B-Entrance (first turn in coming from Two Notch and second turn in coming from 20/77) off Alpine. Student will pull in, find their spot, and enter through the PAC/B-Wing Doors.
PLEASE - NO CARPOOL DROP-OFF in Student Lot as we want only student drivers pulling into this entrance and lot for Safety purposes.
Afternoon
Carpool Pick up is the same concept as drop off in the AM. You will pick all students up in front of the Main Gym area alongside the curb. Cars will start the line at the Gym Doors, then continue the line along the same traffic pattern as you entered for Drop Off. Once you come around the tennis courts and turn into the Faculty Lot, you may begin doubling up the line until you reach the D-Wing building to pull along the curb to the gym, then we must return to a single line along the curb. We ask you to alternate letting each other in at that point from the double line back to the single line. We must keep the lane open for emergencies along the curb in front of D-Wing/Gym.
Again, after school, we ask that all carpool/Non-Drivers exit to the gym and do not get picked up in the Student Lot or Behind the gym by softball field. This is a safety issue of having kids walking and cars driving where they should not.
ONLY STUDENT DRIVERS are allowed to be in the Student Lot before and after school.
Sincerely,
Charles Assey
Dean of Student Formation and Operations
