Pick-up and Drop-off Traffic Procedures

At Carlton Oaks School, our first priority is student safety. Please review our pick-up and drop-off traffic patterns and procedures.

The parking lot next to the two-story, Jr. High building, is designated parking for Staff ONLY. There will be no student pick-up or drop-off access in that parking lot. Please use the pick-up and drop-off lanes in the main parking lot for that purpose.

Main School Parking Lot

  • The middle lane is for thru-traffic only. The outside lanes are designated for pick-up and drop off.
  • Please do not stand in the pick-up or drop-off lanes, this is essential to keep traffic moving. If you are in need of additional assistance during drop-off or pick-up, please stop into the office and we will be happy to help!
  • There is NO LEFT TURN while leaving our parking lot to Wethersfield Road.
  • Please be mindful of our Bus loading and unloading zone on Wethersfield Road.
  • Please follow all safety patrol directions and signs. These students are an essential part of keeping all of our students and families safe at our crosswalks.
  • Southbound traffic may turn left from Wethersfield Road into our school parking lot while safety patrol stop signs are out. Please use caution and ensure that the crosswalk in front of the school is clear before proceeding.
  • There are no special parking permits. Please do not park in the disabled parking without the appropriate placard.

Attention families dropping off students on Wethersfield: please remember that the white zone is for loading/unloading students. Please discuss a plan for drop off with your child’s teacher if you feel your child cannot exit the car independently to meet staff at the gate. When parents park in the drop off zone, traffic for everyone is impeded.

Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding as we ensure a safe pick-up and drop-off for all of our students.
