Parking

Queen of the Rosary School adheres to a strict safety program for parents to follow while in the process of dropping off and picking up their children. Our motto is “Safety above all else”. Parents are expected to do their part in complying with our motto by following these safety procedures.

Morning Drop Off

In the morning, you may bring your children to school in two ways (1) Drop Offs or (2) by Parking. Entrance to Queen of the Rosary premises in the AM is permitted from Rev. Morrison Blvd. only. DO NOT enter the premises from Elk Grove Blvd.

Drop Offs

If you are dropping off your children, please follow these procedures:

1. Cars must be in a single file for drop offs. Follow the lane designations painted on the parking lot. All cars must drive between the two rows of safety cones. Pull up to the front of the two rows of safety cones. This allows for about 4 to 5 vehicles to pull up, stop and drop off children simultaneously. Please have your children prepared to exit the vehicle upon your stopping. Driver DOES NOT exit the vehicle. If you need to assist your children, please park your vehicle in the designated parking areas and DO NOT lineup in the drop off lane. After dropping off your children, do not exit the car line before the car in front of you has left. Please follow the vehicle in front of you and do not linger in the drop off line.

2. All students must (A) exit the vehicle from the passenger side of the vehicle only at the school-side of the cones and (B) enter school from the lower wing doors (Door #6).

3. At the end of the two rows of safety cones, turn right and 
exit to Elk Grove Blvd.
 

4. You may also drop off your child by parking on Victoria and having the crossing guard assist your child across Elk Grove Blvd.

The crossing guard goes on duty at 7:45 a.m.

5. Due to the busses, parents dropping off students in front of the school is prohibited.

Parking

If you are parking your vehicle and walking your children to the entrance, please follow these procedures:

1. Park in the designated parking spaces located between the school and the church. Always accompany your child(ren) to the door. Do not allow them to walk themselves to the door. Cars will be pulling into and backing out of parking spaces in the parking area, and thus YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for your child’s safety before they enter school. THERE ARE TO BE NO CHILDREN LEFT UNATTENDED OUTSIDE OF VEHICLES IN THE DESIGNATED PARKING AREA.

2. Once back in your vehicle, you must exit from the parking lot to Elk Grove Blvd. through the driveway located between the upper wing doors and the rectory. No exit to Rev. Morrison Blvd. is permitted for drivers who park and walk their children to the school doors.
