This written description and accompanying visual aid are designed to provide you with an overview of the All Saints Catholic School Carpool System. The main focus of the procedures that we have set in place is to maintain an arrival and dismissal system that is safe for students, and is also efficient and courteous to the parish and school community, and our surrounding neighbors. After reading, please let us know if you have any questions or if we can assist in any way as you navigate our carpool system.
Morning Drop-off
As in prior years, parents are invited to participate in the morning drop-off process in either the front or rear parking lots. The traffic pattern will be the same as in the past with cars following a circular route that leads to a designated drop off area. The process will be supervised and guided by members of the faculty, staff, and Safety Patrols.
All parents and students are asked to remain in their vehicle until they arrive at the front of the line. Students will exit from vehicles in the drop off area and then proceed into the building via the breezeway entrance. Carpool begins at 7:40 AM and the faculty, staff, and safety patrols will re-enter the building at 7:58 AM.
Students who choose to either walk or ride a bicycle to school are asked to enter the school via the rear entrance of the new breezeway.
Afternoon Dismissal
Again this year all parents have been assigned a designated parking area, i.e. the front or rear parking lot. When arriving on campus, parents are asked to remain in their vehicle and to display their carpool number on the driver’s side of their windshield. As there are many new families joining our school this year, all parents are also asked to have a photo ID available. The gates to the back lot will open at 2:35 PM.
Carpool Pool Maps:
Front Parking Lot
Back Parking Lot
Parents assigned to the front parking lot may park in either the Front Lot – Parish Office side (Bay 3 with overflow in Bay 2) which exits to Route 28/Center Street or Front Lot – PAC side (Bay 1 with overflow in Bay 2) which exits to Stonewall Road. Parents are asked to park their vehicle facing the School/Parish Activity Center.
Parents assigned to the rear parking lot are asked to park in the largest section directly in front of the soccer field. After students have entered their vehicles in the “loading zone,” parents may exit to Stonewall Road by passing through the church parking lot.
Students will report to the “loading zone” as their carpool number is called. When it is time to begin the dismissal process, a staff member will invite the first row of cars to pull forward into the “loading zone” at which time the carpool numbers will be transmitted to the classrooms. Once the students have reported and safely entered their vehicles, a staff member will motion for the row of cars to exit the property after which the process will begin again with the second row.
Please note that during arrival and dismissal, students will exit and enter from the passenger side of the vehicle. For this reason, please be sure to position car seats accordingly, particularly if your child may require assistance. The exception to this is in Bay 1 (exiting to Stonewall Road) where children will be loaded in the driver’s side of the vehicle.
Carpool Numbers
All families have been assigned a carpool number. This number must be clearly displayed in the front windshield on the driver’s side.
Parking Assignments Front Parking Lot – Last Name A – M
- Bay 1 – Park in Bay 1 if you will exit the school to Stonewall Road
- Bay 2 – Park in Bay 2 if you are among the first cars arriving for dismissal. The Bay will be divided down the middle with cars exiting in opposite directions toward either Stonewall Road (Bay 1) or Route 28/Center Street (Bay 3). Cars in Bay 2 are the first to exit the property.
- Bay 3 – Park in Bay 3 if you will exit the school to Route 28/Center Street
Parking Assignments Back Parking Lot – Last Name N – Z
- Bay 16 – All families will park in the back lot and must exit to Stonewall Road.

Other Arrival and Dismissal Information
Please note that Extended Day morning drop-off is available beginning at 6:30 AM. There will not be a faculty member to greet you or to receive your child outside of the building.. Please walk your child/ren into the building to sign them in. Dismissal for Extended Day is the same; please enter Fr. Kelly Hall to sign your child out. Last pick-up for Extended day is at 6:30 PM.
Any students arriving after 8 am will be considered Tardy. Please park in front of the church and escort them into the main entrance of the school, signing them in at the front office.
If picking up or dropping off your child(ren) in a vehicle, parents and guardians are required to participate in the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal system. However, students may walk or bike to school from home in accordance with the following practices and only with written authorization:
- Students walking or biking to school should enter through the breezeway doors.
- After school, a supervising teacher will walk all students to the edge of the school property, past the Chapel, to the cul-de-sac on Park Ave. Students will be expected to continue walking to their destination. For safety reasons, we ask that parents and guardians refrain from picking students up in a vehicle at this location.
- If you are picking a child up in a vehicle through on-campus carpool, please send a note to your child’s teacher or call the front office by 2:45 PM and request that your child be sent to carpool.
- Students biking to school should lock their bike at the bike rack located next to the music room ramp in the back lot.
- Students biking home should plan to check in with the supervising teacher and then depart from the back breezeway exit. Students must walk their bike to the edge of the property and then proceed to ride home.
- Parents of students who will either be walking or riding a bicycle to and from school must also complete the Walker Permission Form.
