Draper 2 announced changes to afternoon pick-up procedures to ease congestion caused by ongoing construction at Draper 3. According to a notice from the school, the new fine arts wing at Draper 3 is expected to be completed soon, but current construction has made afternoon pickups slow and challenging.
The school is implementing new entry times for three specific dismissal groups. Each group will see their entry time delayed by five minutes.
For Yellow Dismissal, which includes Draper 2 and Draper 3 families, vehicles may enter the property at 3:20 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, or at 2:20 pm on Wednesday and Thursday.
Blue Dismissal, which is for Draper 2 families only, allows property entry at 3:35 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, or 2:35 pm on Wednesday and Thursday.
Red Dismissal, also for Draper 2 families only, allows entry at 3:50 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, or 2:50 pm on Wednesday and Thursday.
Vehicles are not permitted on the property until these new designated times.
The school issued several reminders regarding carpool protocols. Parents must display a carpool tag at all times. If a parent does not have a tag, they may drop off a student but must return after 9:00 am to obtain one. In the afternoon, those without a tag will not be allowed on the property until 3:50 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, or 2:50 pm on Wednesday and Thursday.
Drivers with Draper 3 students must remain in the right-hand lane next to the fence and wait for staff direction to reach the curb. After picking up a Draper 3 student, drivers may exit or move into the A/B or C/D lanes to pick up Draper 2 students.
For questions regarding pick-up assignments, parents can contact Lisa Stark at lstark@apamail.org.
The school requested that parents remain kind and courteous to others and follow all directions provided by staff during the process.
