Buses

• All buses will continue to use the lower lot for drop-off and pick up.
• Please do not pull your car into this lot during student drop-off or pick-up.
• If you need to walk your student up to the front of the school, please follow the car path and park in an open space closer to the school entrance.

What time should I drop off my child in the morning?

• Students may be dropped off at 8:40 a.m. when supervision is available.

Walkers 

• For parents of first graders that are currently meeting their children on the grassy area near the Allen sign; we ask that your designated meeting place be moved as when the snow falls this area will become very congested.  For those that live to the east of the building, we ask that you meet your children where bus riders exit the building which is the exterior door leading to stairs near the retaining wall. If you live on the west side of the building, and you use the walkways leading to Yorkshire and Dorchester or Manchester and Essex, then we ask that you meet your child near the Great Room doors. 

How does drop off work if I'm driving?

• Please refer to the Principal's drop off and pick up rules to keep all of our Allen Eagles safe during these hectic moments.
• All cars will queue in a single line but please pull all the way forward to the green unloading and loading area by the flagpole.  Please do not drop off or pick up your student at the curved location, near the great room doors, as noted in yellow – pull forward. This will expedite drop off and pick up not allowing cars to back up and have to drive around those who stop in the noted yellow area on the map.  Our driveline dispatcher will now be located much closer to the building.  
• Please make sure your student exits the car on the passenger side. This may require you to adjust their car seat. This is for your student’s safety.
• Please do not get out of your car if possible. 
• Please pull ahead and exit the parking lot as soon as your student is safely out of or in your car.
• We also encourage families to use the nearby cul-de-sacs for drop-off and pick-up. Both have sidewalks to Allen. If you choose this option, please be a good neighbor and don’t block driveways.​ (Yorkshire and Dorchester, or Manchester and Essex)

Parking lot?

• Our parking lot is very small and handles a lot of traffic during the school day especially at drop off and pick up. If you are going to walk your child into the school you MUST park in a legal parking spot.  Parking in a handicap spot is illegal and you will get a ticket. Please do not park in any of the parking spaces labeled for staff members.
• You are welcome to park in the neighborhoods and walk as well to avoid getting stuck in the congested school traffic.  
• Towner Blvd. is a NO PARKING ZONE. Please do not park and block the traffic flow and walk in. It is very dangerous for drivers and walkers.​
