​Special Car Loop Reminders:

With so many students back to school in person on a daily basis, we are experiencing a much higher volume of parent drop off
and pick up at car loop. Please be patient as the school and the Bernards Township Police Department work together to address this unprecedented congestion. For the safety of our children and our staff, please follow our updated car loop drop off/pick up guidelines:

● No cars should make a left turn to enter the OSS parking lot for car loop. For cars that would normally need to make a left turn to enter the parking lot, please access car loop by entering the school property from Lee Place (across the street from the entrance). The pattern that we ask you to follow is to travel from West Oak Street, make a right onto Hillside Terrace and then make the second left turn onto Lee Place. Follow Lee Place to West Oak Street and cross into the car loop when safe.

● When safe to cross West Oak Street into our parking lot, please be mindful that we have walkers that travel across the entrance on the sidewalk. Before you drive across the street and into the car loop, please be sure that your entire car will fit without blocking the sidewalk. Please note that school staff members are not permitted to direct traffic. Crosswalk teachers are there to safely escort children across the driveways on the sidewalk. Please help them keep all of the children safe.

● Please be considerate of our neighbors and do not block private driveways while waiting in line to drop off or pick up your child.Ple

● Please have your children ready for a speedy exit from and entrance to your vehicle.

● Please pull as far down as possible on the car loop so we can allow for the greatest number of students to be picked up or dropped off at one time.

● Be sure that students only exit and enter the car on the sidewalk side of the vehicle.

● Please do not exit your vehicle at any time during drop off or pick up.

● The police will no longer allow cars to turn left out of the school parking lot onto West Oak Street during morning arrival or afternoon dismissal. 
Please plan to turn right when exiting the school.

● AM drop off begins at 8:30 and PM pick up begins at approximately 12:50. If you choose to arrive at the school prior to these times, please be aware that this is the most congested time. There is a significant decrease in traffic after 8:35am and after 1:05pm.

● Henry Street pick up is light and parents that are parking in that area to meet their children are experiencing a lighter traffic pattern.

● Buses are empty and can certainly accommodate additional children. Buses are departing Oak Street before the car line is empty. Please consider having your children take the bus if they are entitled to that service.

We greatly appreciate your patience and assistance in providing a safe and orderly drop off and pick up of your children.
