Important carline reminders
As we head into the final three weeks of the fall semester, please take a moment to review carline procedures.
No matter what your day entails, remember to pause and take a breath when you get to the school and drive with our students, parent volunteers, and staff members in mind. Give students and drivers grace.
Carline Arrival
- Vehicles entering via the blue lane are not allowed to cut across to the orange/green lanes. Orange/Green lanes may only be accessed by entering Meridian Way from the north (the yellow lane). If you find yourself in the blue lane, drop off your child in the blue lane. They can still make their way to the cafeteria if necessary.
-
Stay within the drop off lanes in the morning. Do not park and walk your student in. Numbered parking spots belong to staff and student drivers, and when other vehicles park in their spaces during drop off, it prevents or delays their ability to park and get on to school. Do not enter the school via the High School entrance or park to let your student out. There is very limited parking space for staff in this area.
Carline Dismissal
- Please do not arrive on campus for carline earlier than 2:30 pm (noon on Wednesdays). If you're here early, do not pull into the main parking lot before 3 pm. We need to have the parking lot open and available for early pick ups, deliveries, and emergency vehicle access.
- This also helps our Cafe Crew members, who leave at 3 pm each day. If they are parents, they will drive to the front of the carline to pick up their students. If they're not parents, they need easy access to leave.
And, as always, use Paloma to get from the highway to Mays St. Jeffrey is not open to Meridian traffic. Be courteous of the drivers around you. You represent the school in carline.

Scholastic Book Fair
Nov. 29–Dec. 3
The Scholastic Book Fair is on campus this week! Students visit with their class for shopping on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, with open shopping on Friday.
Consider setting up an e-wallet to allow your child to shop without having to bring cash to school. Teachers will also be setting up e-wallets in lieu of making wish lists. Consider contributing to your child’s teacher’s e-wallet to help them buy books for their classroom.
Want to shop with your child? We have shopping times available before school Tuesday–Friday and after school on Wednesday. Sign up to shop here. To manage the crowds in the book fair, please sign up for the number of slots equal to the number of people who will be coming with you to shop.
