Drop Off Procedure Enter from Ionia on to Minnehaha heading South. Once your vehicle is in the drop off zone (orange cones) have your child exit the car on the passenger side. Continue heading south on Minnehaha to turn right on to Hiawatha. • Have your child unbuckled and ready to get out BEFORE you arrive at the cones. • Once your child exits the vehicle please follow the flow of traffic. The volunteers will make sure that your child makes it into school. • DO NOT drive around cars that are stopped to let students out. • Drop off students between cones only, not between parked cars before the drop off zone. • If your child is having a rough morning or injured, please pull forward past the cones and park on the right side of the street.
