*Please put your child’s first name and grade on your car tag. It will help those loading the cars in the afternoon during carpool.

Some friendly carpool reminders from Southfield School:

Students may not enter buildings until 7:40 AM. Parents are welcome to sit in carpool line until this time, but children must remain with parents and may not enter buildings until 7:40 AM. This ensures faculty are in place to receive your children.
Please try to approach the preschool/lower school carpool line from southbound Fairfield Ave.; left turns from Fairfield are discouraged.
Morning traffic on Southfield Rd. remains two-way. Please avoid double carpool lines to ensure the flow of traffic in both directions.
Afternoon traffic is one way. Please enter Southfield Rd. from Fairfield Avenue.

PREORDERS END TONIGHT!
