CSCS Drop off Procedures : Vehicles will enter CSCS via University Drive or Sample Road. The vehicles will follow the right lane and drop students off in the circle next to the sidewalk areas. All students will exit their vehicle from the passenger side onto the sidewalk. The left lane will remain open to allow for a continuous flow of traffic leaving the school. Once the student has exited, the vehicle will cautiously move into the left lane to leave. When a vehicle exits, all remaining cars must move up to fill the gap and allow more cars to enter the drop off line. Under no circumstances are parents to stop in the left lane to drop off a student. SAFETY of our students is PRIORITY ONE. All students must use the walkways. CSCS Pickup Procedures : Vehicles will enter CSCS property via University Drive or Sample Road. The vehicles will follow the right lane until they must stop directly behind the vehicle in front of them. Drivers may not leave their vehicles unattended. They must remain in their vehicles at all times. When the students are dismissed, they will go directly to their vehicle, enter from the passenger side via the walkways and immediately pull into the left lane to depart. When a vehicle exits, all remaining cars must move up to fill the gap and allow more cars to enter the pick up line. Under no circumstances are parents to stop in the left lane to pick up a student.

In addition, faculty will be assigned a post at the beginning and end of each day to assist. Parents may not park in the fire lane to escort tardy students or to pick up early dismissal students. Tickets will be issued to cars parked in the fire lane. Student Parking : Parking privileges are extended to students on a first come basis.
