Pickup / Drop off Directions

Student Arrival
Please drop off students between 8:35 am and 8:50 am. Car riders should be dropped off in the carpool lane in Kerkstra’s main parking lot. Please plan accordingly, as the drop-off will move slower the first few days until everyone gets the hang of it.

For student safety, car riders and walkers should not arrive before 8:35 am. Please practice patience and kindness and be good role models for our students.
  • When leaving the lot, it is a right turn only. Parking Lot Map
