Many parents choose to drive their children to school. It is imperative that drivers adhere to the following rules and drop-off and pick-up procedures:
Rush Lily Street: Parking is on the school side only. Please do not make U-turns in the middle of Rush Lily. Please do not double park to drop off your child. Please be conscientious when you park to maximize parking spaces.
Rush Lily Parking Lot Drop-Off/Pick up: Please utilize the curb when dropping off/picking up your child. Cypress Village has ample curbs for the dropping off and the picking up of students. Cars may not be parked at those curbs for any length of time. Please continue to pull forward as far as indicated to allow for multiple cars to drop off/pick up at the same time along the curb. Please use the crosswalk in the parking lot if you choose to park. Please do not stop, park or let children out of the car in the center lane of this parking lot. Drivers are asked to respect the handicapped spaces. Do not park in them or block them in any way, unless you have the appropriate placard.
Scented Violet Street: Parking is on the school side only. Please do not make U-turns in the middle of Scented Violet. Please do not double park to drop off your child. Please be conscientious when you park to maximize parking spaces. We do have a crossing guard on Scented Violet. Please follow the crossing guard's directions and rules. We have two cross walks that can be utilized and you may not cross the street diagonally.
Scented Violet Parking Lot: This parking lot is for staff parking only. Parents are not to park, pick up or drop off in this parking lot unless given special written permission by the principal.
Park Parking Lots: We have two parks adjacent to our campus where parents may park. We highly encourage families to utilize these areas during pick up and drop off.
