Parking Tips for Drop Off and Pick Up at McAuliffe Middle School

 

Parking at every school is a challenge.  At McAuliffe, we are constantly seeking to ensure safe egress and regress for every student.  After a study in the Spring of 2019, the following are our rules for parking and traffic at McAuliffe Middle School. There are no exceptions to these rules, as we seek to ensure the safety of every child.

 

Bloomfield Parking Lot

  1. This lot is for loading and unloading of students from 8:00-9:00 and from 2:00-3:00. We ask that parents do not park in the staff stalls, unless they are coming onto campus for school business. The row of parking stalls closest to Bloomfield are reserved for Visitors.

  2. Vehicles must pull all the way forward toward the amphitheatre before unloading students, please do not stop at the gate near the Outpost.

  3. Please do not park in the aisleways between parking stalls, this is for the immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

 

Cerritos Lot

  1. This parking lot is reserved for our school buses between 8:15 and 9:00 and again from 2:45-3:10, we cannot allow the loading and unloading of students during this timeframe.

  2. Visitor parking spots are available for parent parking.

  3. Parents may pull into the loading zone between 9:00 and 2:45 for the immediate loading and unloading of students and for brief office visits.

 

Cerritos Avenue

  1. The white zone on Cerritos Avenue is for passenger loading and unloading

 

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure students have a great year at McAuliffe!
