Parking Tips

Drop Off & Pick Up

• Please pull all the way to the end of the white zone along the curb, and in the morning, stay inside the cones and exit into traffic only after pulling up to the end of the cone zone.
• Do not exit your car to let a child out, and please do not let children exit on the traffic side of your vehicle. We have staff who are able to assist you in getting your child safely out of the car and to the curb.
• At pick up, please be sure to arrive AFTER your child is dismissed (if picking up sibs, after oldest child is dismissed). 
• If you are picking up a middle schooler, please do not arrive before 3:25 p.m.

Parking

Please remember that there are several parking restrictions on streets surrounding RDS. We work hard to maintain good relations with our neighbors, and ask for your cooperation in this effort.  

• There is no parking on the following streets: Sausal (the small street just after the freeway overpass), Morrison (the street that intersects Sheffield at the stop sign), or on the opposite side of Sheffield. Please DO NOT park across from RDS and walk your child across the street.
• Park in marked stalls only in the front parking lot and in the main parking lot. Please do not park along the wall near the library - it is a safety hazard for those exiting and entering the parking lot.
• If you do not have a disabled placard, do not park in stalls reserved for those with disabled placards (even if you think "it's only for a minute").
• Please be respectful and courteous to Arturo, Roger, and others who are helping direct traffic and parking.
