Need to drive and can't find parking? Use Stop, Drop & Go (SDG)!

SDG is a volunteer-based service relying entirely on parents/families to help other kids get out of cars, so their parents do not have to go through the pain of looking for parking around the school and /or block traffic. Sign up to volunteer HERE!
​
When: 7:30-7:50am (SDG is only available in the morning)
​Where: 17th Ave (southbound only)

Safety First: Do's and Don'ts for SDG

How to Use SDG:

• Drive up 17th Ave, move southbound starting at Balboa going towards Cabrillo
• If there's a line, don't worry, it moves fast
• SDG volunteers will direct cars up to the designated white zone at the 17th Ave gate
• A volunteer will open your door, help your child get out and onto the yard
• Be patient and careful as you exit at the Cabrillo intersection!

How to Keep the Line Moving Quickly:

• Have your child ready to get out of the car (jackets on, backpacks in hand)!
• Do not get out of your car​

Keep Everyone Safe:

• No drop offs on 17th Ave northbound - this forces kids to cross into oncoming cars, no thank you!
• No passing or jumping the line on 17th Ave – if you've dropped your kid off, please be patient and wait in the line to exit
• No car drop offs on Cabrillo or 18th Ave
• Do not double park
• Do not block our neighbors' driveway

Volunteer!

SDG is volunteer-run and every class is responsible for 2 weeks out of the year. We rely entirely on parents/families to keep SDG working. It's a short period of time to volunteer but it's one of the BIGGEST contributions you can make towards the safety of our students. If you have used, or intend to use SDG, please make sure to return the favor and help maintain this service.

Volunteer Time: 7:30-8am
What You Need To Do: Set up the cones to mark off the drop off lane on 17th Ave, open car doors and help kids safely exit their car

How to Sign Up:

1. Check the 2024-2025 classroom schedule. (Each classroom is assigned to a particular week, however, you can volunteer for any week and for as many days that works for you.)
2. Sign up sheet is HERE. At least 3 volunteers are needed each day. 

Volunteering for the first time for SDG? 

• If you are the first one on site, please go to the multi-purpose room (MPR) and wheel out the wagon w/ cones, cone connector bars & vests. Set up cones and connector bars to create a lane in the white zone to prevent double-parking. Setup needs to happen by 7:30 and it will all need to come in by 7:55, at which time the gate is locked. 
• If you park or walk and see 3 or less volunteers when you drop your kid(s), please jump in to help if you can, even 2 or 3 minutes. 

​Thank you for your consideration, participation and cooperation—we appreciate it!
