Parking Lot Procedures for Students in

KINDERGARTEN & 1st GRADE

DROP-OFF PROCEDURES For Students in Kindergarten & 1st Grade:

K & 1 students must be WALKED into the building and to their classroom by a parent/adult.
All cars will enter through the Middle Neck Road entrance.
Upon entry, parking attendants will direct you to park. They will first fill the spots in the front lots and then begin filling the side lot.
Once parked, you will enter the building through the main entrance and bring your child to their classroom.

PICK-UP PROCEDURES For Students in Kindergarten & 1st Grade:

Families with students in Grades K & 1 will pick up their children from the Beit Tefillah exit in the Courtyard. The outside entrance to the Beit Tefillah can be found directly to the LEFT of the main courtyard doors.
All cars will enter through the Middle Neck Road entrance.
Upon entry, parking attendants will direct you to park. They will first fill the spots in the front lots and then begin filling the side lot.
Starting at 10:45am, we will allow K & 1 parents to enter the Beit Tefillah to pick up their child/ren. Teachers will remain with the children until they are all picked up.
If you would like to have your younger student released to an older sibling and then use the carpool line, you can give us permission by reaching out to Orly – orly@commsyn.org.

Parking Lot Procedures for Students in

GRADE 2 - 7

DROP-OFF PROCEDURES For Students in Grades 2 - 7:

Students in Grades 2-7 should be dropped off at the main synagogue entrance using our carpool line.
All cars will enter through the Middle Neck Road Entrance.
Upon entry, cars will be directed to the RIGHT to get on the carpool line.
Drive slowly and drop students at the main entrance (the first set of doors with the big awning). Children must exit cars on the CURBSIDE only and walk into the building.
We are asking that ALL families use the carpool line, but if there is a reason that you must park, then you will be directed to the LEFT upon entry into the lot.

PICK-UP PROCEDURES For Students in Grades 2 - 7:

Students in Grades 2 - 7 should be picked up using our carpool dismissal line.
All cars will enter through the Middle Neck Road Entrance.
Upon entry, cars will be directed to the RIGHT to get on the carpool line.
Students will be loaded 5 cars at a time in front of the Courtyard Entrance. Please continue to move up as close to the first position in front of the courtyard school doors to allow for more cars to be safely loaded in front of the building.
Never pull out of line to pass cars unless instructed by traffic guard.
If you would prefer to park and meet your child/ren in the courtyard, you must park in a legally marked spot and walk to the courtyard to pick up your child. We will not release students to run across the parking lot to a car.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR EVERYONE

If you are on the carpool line, you MUST NOT GET OUT OF YOUR CAR.
When walking in parking lot, please use crosswalks and watch your children carefully.
Please obey our traffic guards – they are here to protect us all!

Cell Phone Policy

Two key values of our school – first, providing a deep, meaningful and joyous understanding of Jewish teachings and traditions, and second, building a kehillah kedosha (sacred community) – are increasingly compromised by the use of cell phones by students in our school. When students are on their cell phones, they are typically not building connections with their classmates or engaging as deeply as they could with the learning taking place.

Thus, each upper grade classroom will have a box or hanging organizer where students will be expected to put their cell phones on their way into class each day. We ask for your help as parents by either leaving your child's cell phone at home or reminding them of our expectation that they leave their phone in the holder.

As always, you can contact your child through the Religious School office during school hours. Thank you for your support.
