SFA Car Line

At St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, the safety of our students is our highest priority. During busy arrival and dismissal times, your attentiveness makes a meaningful difference. We ask all families to follow our established car line procedures to help ensure a safe, efficient, and smooth drop-off and pick-up experience for every SFA student.

ALL CARS MUST DISPLAY A LAST NAME SIGN (include all in your carpool) on the dash or visor.

Please use large font.

DROP OFF/PICK UP according to the youngest student in your car/carpool. You will use this location all year, even if your youngest rider is not at school on any given day.

Drop off – be sure student(s) are ready to get out immediately when you stop. Hugs and kisses need to be done prior to this time. If your child is not ready to exit the vehicle, you will need to drive through car line again as not to hold others up and make them tardy.

Pick up – Students will be waiting in their designated areas after school (according to the youngest student in your car/carpool).

There are 4 different areas for drop off and pick up.

Red – 2nd-4th Grade (North) – Enter the lot from Woodland, North of the school, in the entry next to the playground. Turn right. Make 2 lines after you round the circle drive and go every other one single file alongside the length of the building. As you pull forward for drop off and for pick up stay to the right. Once you have dropped off your student(s) in the am or picked up your student(s) in the pm, pull forward towards Woodland and exit to the RIGHT.

Green– Preschool, Pre-K (Northwest)-  Enter the lot from Woodland NW entrance, West of the Church. Drive into the farthest lot and park. Preschool parents walk into the Preschool area of the building to get their child(ren). After you have your Preschooler(s), if you have older students, you will need to exit the lot off of 72nd and enter the appropriate carline.

Blue – 5th-8th (Southwest)– Enter the lot from 72nd Street, West of the Church. Immediately turn right. Form 2 lines. Once you reach the light pole the 2 lines merge to one line. That single line drives to the left side of the parking lot to drop off students or to pick up waiting students who are on the left side. Once you have your student(s) dropped off or picked up you can pull into the right lane and exit the lot, RIGHT, to Ashworth Road.

Orange– Kindergarden and 1st Grade (South)- Enter via the Eastern-most entry on Ashworth Road. Turn immediately to the left and form 2 lines. Vehicles in both lines will alternate to make the turn by the roundabout, merging into one single lane to head East into the pick up lane. For drop off and pick up, there is one line in the left lane. Once you have dropped off or picked up your student(s) you can pull into the right lane, (Do this cautiously as children are entering and exiting cars in the right lane), drive forward, and exit to the RIGHT and leave from the same point you entered the lot on Ashworth Road. 

After school

  • Students are to go directly outside and wait in their designated area.

  • ALL students must walk outside to their car line areas and not walk through the church hallways. They our allowed to walk through the parish halls on days we are holding indoor car line due to weather.

All students are to be off the school grounds within fifteen to twenty minutes unless participating in a supervised school activity. If students must wait longer for a ride, school officials must be notified. Students on the school grounds after 3:30 will be sent to the office and if parents cannot be contacted, students will be sent to Kids Care and charged fees. Students waiting for rides will NOT be permitted access to playground equipment.

If it is necessary for a student to remain after school for academic or disciplinary reasons, he/she will call parents before classes are dismissed.
