Drop-off, Pick-up, and Parking Lot Procedures

  • During arrival and dismissal times, the long driveway from Olympic View Middle School becomes ONE WAY TRAFFIC ONLY. Cars should not turn around and drive back past Olympic View but should proceed through the parking lot and out the bottom of the driveway onto Washington Street.
  • Parents dropping off or picking up their student(s) can use the student drop off lane that is clearly marked along the sidewalk to allow your child to exit the car on the sidewalk side. As soon as the child exits the car, please proceed out of line and drive out of the parking lot. Cars following may then move up and drop off their student(s) closer to the school.
  • Parents wishing to park their car in the parking lot may do so. Please be sure to walk your child through the parking lot at all times. With so many cars, it can be quite dangerous if children are not escorted. Also, go to the crosswalks to cross the traffic/bus lanes. We have crossing guards posted at those locations. Parking is limited and cars must park in designated parking spaces due to fire lanes.
  • Please drive very slowly through the lot at a speed no faster than 10 miles per hour.
If there is bus transportation provided for your student(s), we encourage you to allow your child to ride the bus. This cuts down greatly in the congestion during the arrival and dismissal times.
