Arrival and Dismissal times are always a busy time at MVMPCS. Please follow the Safety and Courtesy guidelines below to help it all run smoothly.
We have two areas to drop off students in the morning and pick up at the end of the day:
Drive & Drop – via our carline on Evergreen Street
Park & Walk – an adult must park & walk the child to our entrance on Evergreen Pl.


CARLINE ROUTES:

  • Our Carline runs on Evergreen Place going from West to East.
  • IMPORTANT! To enter carline go from Fifth St to Elm St to Evergreen Place.  DO NOT TURN RIGHT ONTO EVERGREEN PLACE FROM ELM ST (see map on the next page).
  • Due to congestion, do not use Rosemont Avenue (Dill Ave) to Elm Street for carline, use the alternate routes outlined on the map.
  • Allow space between cars for our neighbor’s driveways and garages while waiting in carline. Be courteous. Allowing 2-3ft between cars should be enough room to move if needed.

CARLINE TIPS

To help the pick-up line flow smoothly, please arrive somewhere between 3:30 pm and 3:45 pm. If all of the cars arrive at 3:30 your will wait in a longer line and we back up traffic on our side streets. If you can stagger arrival your wait will not be as long and we will not cause traffic disruptions.

Drivers: Please share all of this information with anyone who may be transporting MVMPCS children.

PARK & WALK GUIDELINES

Parents/Guardians are permitted to park in our lot each morning to drop off their children. Parents must walk all students to our main entrance and remain with the student until they enter the door at 8:50 am.

Parking is permitted in our lot until 11:45 am. From 12-3:25 pm our lot will be closed to vehicular traffic so students can attend recess. If you are coming to volunteer or pick up a child during this time please use visitor parking on Bruner Alley. If these spaces are full please use the Staff Parking Area.  
All cars parked in our lot during the day should display their staff parking permit or carline card on their car dashboard. Visitors without a card can request one in the school front office.

OTHER GUIDELINES

  • No parking on Dill Avenue (in front of the school) from 8:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This includes drop off and pick up and is a city ordinance.
  • Use only the main (rear) entrance located on Evergreen Place to enter the building.
  • If you arrive before 3:25 pm (2:25 pm on Friday) please do not block the intersection on 5th Street while waiting to enter the lot. Please park on the side of the street if you arrive early.
