Car Rider Procedures

In order to ensure student safety for Car Riders during morning drop off/afternoon pick up, please find below information detailing our Car Rider Procedures at Wexford Elementary.
 
If your child is a Morning Car Rider at any time during the school year, please note the Safety Priority for drop off:
  • Vehicles enter the school property and should travel through the perimeter of the parking lot. 
  • In order to continue the flow of traffic, vehicles should not park in the driving lanes or on the curb areas. 
  • Students must get out of the vehicle on the passenger side onto the sidewalk.
  • Students are not permitted to walk from a car to the sidewalk without an adult.

If your child is an Afternoon Car Rider at any time during the school year, please note the Safety Priority for pick up:

  • You may enter the parking lot beginning at 3:30 pm. The dismissal process begins at 3:45 pm.
  • Parents/guardians should park between the clearly marked white lines of parking spaces in the parking lot (i.e. not on the grass, not on the perimeter of the parking lot, or in a fire lane) and get out of the car to line up at their child's assigned dismissal door.
  • Students are released to their parents/guardians by last name locations. See below:

    •  Last Name:
      • A-K = Door #14  (Near the music room)
      • L-Z = Door #16 (The green gym doors)
      • If there is a car pool of several children, use Door #16. 

(If your child is in a car pool for dismissal, please write all of their names on your child’s note.)
Signs will be posted on the sidewalk to indicate the pick up locations to assist you.

 

  • Parents will stand outside at their designated pick-up location and, when asked, share their child's name with the car rider staff.
  • Pick up doors will remain open until 4:00 pm. If you are late, please buzz the front door. Your child will always be safe in the office.
  • Parents should indicate on the Wexford Daily PM Car Rider form if their child is going to be a car rider every day, on certain days of the week, all year, or on a regular basis. This eliminates the need for a PM car rider note every day. 
  • If your child will be an occasional car rider, a note must be submitted to the school office prior to 1:30 pm that day. The classroom teacher must also be informed if a child is an afternoon car rider for the day.
  • Car rider instructions DO NOT CARRY OVER FROM THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL YEAR. A new form is required for the 2024-2025 school year.

UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PARK IN A DESIGNATED  HANDICAPPED PARKING SPOT AT ANY TIME. 

Students who will be dismissed as a regular Car Rider must have a PM Car Rider Dismissal form completed. Forms from last year do not carry forward. Completed forms can be emailed to the Wexford Office - apaines@pinerichland.org or rjamison@pinerichland.org or turned in on the first day of school.
