Each family at Roscomare Road Elementary School is asked to volunteer during the school year to help run the morning drop-off smoothly and efficiently.  This year, only the front driveway of the school will be used for morning drop-off and we will not be opening the yard gates, which means that we may experience higher levels of traffic.

We need at least 10 parents each morning from 7:30 to 8:30am to help students get out of the cars and move the traffic along Roscomare Road quickly and efficiently. 

Your Room Parents who will hand out sign-up sheets and the Kiss-N-Ride committee chairs will contact you.

KISS AND RIDE GUIDELINES

ALL PARENTS: Please have your children ready with backpacks when car doors are opened to make the exit process as quick as possible. School starts at 8:15 AM. 

VOLUNTEERS: All volunteers must wear safety vests that are found in the Kiss-N-Ride box outside the front office.  The first volunteer arriving at 7:30 needs to bring the box from the office to the cone storage area. 

Please set up orange construction cones on the red dots on the outside lanes to mark the placement of each cone. Ensure that the tall orange pillar poles are placed on the red dots to block the middle entrance lane, as it will not be used for a drop off lane. The two middle lanes will be blocked off. Under no circumstances will the middle lane be opened for drop-off.

The lane closest to the parking spots will be used for drive-thru only and needs to have the “Drive Thru” sign pointed to it.

The “Pull Forward” sign should be placed curbside at the entrance to the front lot.

DIRECTING STREET TRAFFIC: Two parents are needed at the exit of the driveway to manage the traffic. Another parent is needed on the street at the entrance for left turns northbound. Please understand that this can be a difficult job as you are coordinating efforts to avoid traffic accidents. 

We would like to thank you in advance for volunteering for what has become an extremely rewarding part of the Roscomare Road School team effort.  With your help, morning drop-off will continue to run safely, smoothly and efficiently.

Many thanks,

The Kiss-N-Ride Co-Chairs
