Walk or Bike: If possible, walk or bike to school to reduce traffic, improve safety, and get exercise. Always cross at intersections, ideally with an adult or crossing guard.

If You Drive: Whenever possible, park legally 1–2 blocks away and walk your child to school. Never park or stop:

• In driveways
• In the staff lot
• Within 20 feet of intersections
• In crosswalks

Families with a disabled parking permit or mobility need can ask attendants for access to 34th Ave S.

Car Drop-Off Zones:

• 33rd & Walden (Northwest): If coming from the west, drop off on Walden, west of McClintock. After your child exits, turn left (north) on McClintock. Return to Rainier & Walden via Byron.
• Hinds, between 33rd & 34th (Southwest): If coming from the southwest, drive north on 34th from Safeway. Turn left on Hinds. After your child exits the car, turn left on 33rd to return to Rainier.
