Preschool Entrance
- Schedule: from 7:20 am to 8:00 am
- Gate: A
Parents must line up on Richard E. Byrd Street in the lane closest to the median, entering the institution through Gate 1.
Students should be dropped off at the main entrance through Gate A.
Upon exiting the institution through the Gate 2 booth, the only permitted turn is to the right, following the direction of the street.
Preschool Dismissal
- Schedule: PN, N & K1 – from 1:00 pm to 1:35 pm / K2 & K3 – from 1:15 pm to 1:35 pm
- Gate: PN, N & K1: Gate A / K2 & K3: Gate PG
Parents should form the entry line on Richard E. Byrd Street in the lane closest to the wall of the Bosques de las Cumbres neighborhood. At the designated crossing point in front of the booth, make a U-turn and enter through Gate 3. Follow the internal road within the institution (clockwise) and form two lines upon descending: one on the left side (outer school side) for those families picking up students only at Gate A, and another on the right side (school side) for those picking up students at Gate PG (formerly the sandbox area).
The line on the left side (Gate A), upon passing the playground gate, should move to the right, leaving the left lane free.
Cars exiting the loop after picking up at the playground will cross to the left lane to exit through Gate 2.
We ask you to yield in a 1-1 format when needing to cross lines.
Parents with students in both preschool levels (PN, N & K1 and K2 & K3) should first pick up the student at Gate PG and then proceed to Gate A to pick up the next student.
Upon exiting the institution through the Gate 2 booth, the only permitted turn is to the right, following the direction of the street.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Parents who have children in higher grades should line up accordingly, meaning if they are picking up students in K2 or K3 and also in a lower preschool grade (PN; N & K1), parents should enter and stop in line at the playground gate on the right side. We request this to avoid holding up the lines, as the dismissal time for K2 and K3 students is at 1:15 pm, not 1:00 pm like the rest of the preschool levels.
On Richard E. Byrd Street, when forming lines to enter the institution, both upon arrival and departure, ensure that there is always a lane open for traffic unrelated to the institution.
Elementary Entrance
- Schedule: from 7:20 am to 7:50 am
- Gate: A (recommended for Lower Elementary students)
Parents must line up on Richard E. Byrd Street in the lane closest to the median, entering the institution through Gate 1. Students should be dropped off at the main entrance through Gate A. Upon exiting the institution through the Gate 2 booth, the only permitted turn is to the right, following the direction of the street.
- Gate: B (recommended for Upper Elementary students)
Parents must form a line on Richard E. Byrd Street in the lane closest to the median, entering the institution through Gate 1. Parents should enter the institution and follow the internal circuit (counterclockwise), forming a line on the right side (external to the school) marked with the letter B. Upon entering the Gate B area, two lines can be formed. For their own safety, it is essential that students get out of the car from the correct side (see the considerations section in this part). Once the students are dropped off, parents may continue along the circuit and exit through Gate 3, where only a right turn is permitted, following the direction of Richard E. Byrd Street.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Parents may drop off all their children of different grade levels at the same gate; it is recommended to do so at the gate assigned to their youngest child. At the drop-off point at Gate B, two lines are formed: one on the left side (adjacent to the school facilities) and one on the right side (adjacent to the central yellow circle). For their own safety, students being dropped off at Gate B should do so as follows:
- If the student is being dropped off on the line on the left side (adjacent to the school facilities), they should get out of the car exclusively on the driver’s side.
- If the parent is in line on the right side (internal to the B circuit), the student should get out exclusively on the passenger side and wait in the yellow safety circle until a guard indicates it is safe to cross.

- At the drop-off point at Gate B, two lines are formed: one on the left side (adjacent to the school facilities) and one on the right side (adjacent to the central yellow circle). For their own safety, students disembarking at Gate B should do so in the following manner:

- If the parent is in line on the right side (internal to the B circuit), the student should wait until the guard on duty indicates that it is safe to cross and then enter the car exclusively from the passenger side.
- In cases where a middle school student has preschool siblings taking sports classes, the older siblings should also exit through Gate C, just like them.
- Students not enrolled in any extracurricular activities should leave the school at their designated exit time. For the safety of the students, under no circumstances should they remain on the premises outside of the established school hours.
