All dismissal will occur from the North Yard. All children will be dismissed at 3:00 p.m., but you may arrive to pick your child up between 3:00 – 3:30 p.m.
BASIC DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS
The Walden driving pattern has cars arriving to the back (east) of the School. Cars travel on Colorado Boulevard, and then:
- Turn south onto Daisy Avenue. (Daisy is the first street east of San Gabriel Boulevard.)
- Make an immediate right (west) into Thompson Alley behind the tire business. Stay to your far right, as the alleys are two-way traffic for the local residents and other businesses.
- Turn left (south) into Sewell Alley. Again, hug the right side of the alley.
- Do not block business driveways, if waiting in carline to pick up your child.
- The carline continues south on Sewell Alley to the East Gate (morning drop-off) and west on Rose Alley past the South Gate. (Left turns onto Rose Alley are prohibited.)
- From Rose Alley, turn right only on San Gabriel Boulevard.
- There is no parking or stopping in the alleyway during arrival and dismissal.
- Follow all Walden staff instructions.
PARKING
If you decide to park your car and walk into school to pick up your child, please enter the school at the North Yard Gate on Sewell Alley, after 3:00 p.m.
If arriving before 3:00 p.m., please enter the school through the Front Office. The North Yard Gate will remain locked until teachers begin dismissal.
RAINY DAY DISMISSAL
Children will be dismissed from the East Gate near the Community Room. The pick-up traffic line will be slower than usual. Plan to be patient.
LATE PARENT (after 3:30 p.m.)
If you arrive late to pick up your child, your child will be checked into The Village at 3:30 p.m. and billed as “occasional use,” if no billing plan is pre-selected.
