Pick Up
and Drop Off:
The policy printed below will be effective beginning with the first day
of classes in the new school year.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in helping to keep
your children safe:
There are
no words strong enough to express our ongoing concern for the safety of
all children and teens in our religious education program. The
grounds of the Immaculate Conception property are very busy places, and
the physical layout of the parish grounds make a smooth flow at drop-off
and pick-up times quite imperative. We ask the cooperation of all
parents and guardians in working with us to create the best environment
for the well-being and safety of all our religious education children
and teens by adhering to the following policy:
When dropping
off your child(ren) at IC Lower School, one of two methods may be used:
-
You may drop your child(ren) off in our
drop-off zone,
which will be located directly in front of the main school door on
-
You may
park your car in one of the two IC Upper School Lots or on the side
of
When dropping
your teen off at IC Upper School, parents and guardians are asked to
park in one of the two IC Upper School Lots to avoid students walking on
At the
conclusion of the class hour, all students with classrooms on the second
floor will be walked to the first floor hallway by their teachers.
Students with classrooms on the first floor will remain in their
classrooms until picked up by a parent/guardian.
Please note that this is a change in our policy, effective
September 2011 and is aimed at lessening the congestion in the main
hallway at pick-up time.
Parents/Guardians are asked to come into the building to pick up
their children.
Please note, if someone other than a Parent/Guardian will be picking up
a child, a note must be given to the child’s teacher at the beginning of
class on that day/evening.
When picking up your child(ren) from IC Lower School,
you may park your
car in one of the two IC Upper School Lots, on the side of Washington
Street opposite to IC Lower School in legal parking spaces or you may
park in the legal spaces on the school side of Washington Street.
Again, we remind you
that parking is allowed only in the IC Upper School Lots and in legal
parking spaces on Washington Street.
The Marlboro Police Department will take notice and ticket all
illegally parked or standing cars.
At the close of class on Sunday afternoons, the 8th Graders will be walked to the enclosed area in front of the IC Upper School main door, and they will remain there with their teachers until they are picked-up by a Parent/Guardian.
Grade 9 Parents and Guardians are asked
to pick up your teen from the Lower Church.
Grade 10 Parents and Guardians are asked
to pick up your teen from Meehan Hall (Upper School building).
Please note,
if someone other than a Parent/Guardian will be picking up a teen, a
note must be given to the teen’s teacher at the beginning of class on
that evening.
We understand that our policy may
lengthen the drop-off/pick-up procedure, however, we are confident of
your understanding as this will benefit the safety of all IC Religious
Ed children and teens. We
thank you for being partners with us in our efforts to enforce this
policy.
