Busses
Students will only be picked up at the authorized and designated bus stop that serves their residence. Students will not be allowed to board the school bus unless they are boarding at their assigned stop. All students will be delivered back to their designated bus stop at the close of school each day. Exceptions may only be made in cases of emergencies and after securing written permission from the transportation coordinator at 424-6210.
AIf you intend to drive to RFS to drop off your child between, the drop off times are 8:15 – 8:30 a.m. (rain or shine). You must turn left and enter the faculty parking area as you reach the end of Lyons Road. This is a one-way traffic pattern, and we ask that you respect the flow of cars to ensure the safety of all. Please refer to the map to the left.
When motioned forward by a staff member, please pull forward, park in the car lane, and remain in your car. Please have your child remain buckled until the car stops completely. Staff will open the car door and help your child out of the car. Having the child on the passenger side is the safest way for children to exit their cars. Upon exiting the car, students will enter RFS through the APR doors and go directly to their classrooms.
Please work out a goodbye routine with your child before getting to the drop-off point. It is important for families to have a routine that does not impact the remainder of the drop off line.
Cars may not use the area leading to the circular drive or the front of the school in the morning between 8:15- 8:30 a.m. The circle is open only to buses dropping off students.
After 8:30 students are considered tardy and must be escorted into the building by an adult.
Bikers and Walkers
As you consider this option for your child, remember that traffic on Lyons Road is congested in the morning and afternoon. We are always concerned about student safety and do our best in the morning to direct traffic and walk students to safe and supervised areas. In the afternoon, these students are the last to be dismissed from the building when most traffic has left the grounds (approximately 3:05 p.m.). If you decide to allow your child(ren) to use this option, you must send a note to the school giving your permission.
Our RFS the afternoon ‘pick-up’ process has changed slightly. Parent/Guardian pick up will occur in the APR (All Purpose Room) at RFS. Parents/Guardians will park in faculty and visitor parking areas, as well as utilize limited parking on the North Playground hard top. If these lots are filled, please use the parking lots near the athletic fields on Lyons Road. Please do not park in non-designated parking areas on school grounds.
Parents/guardians must come into the building through the front vestibule, present their I.D. and sign-out their child(ren). Parents/ guardians will then wait in the APR for their children to be dismissed. We do not allow children to enter the parking area unaccompanied. Students will be dismissed to parents in the All-Purpose Room. Please exit promptly through the two exterior doors in the APR. Bus dismissal will begin once all parents have exited the APR.
A.M. Student Drop Off
The morning drop off location will be on the North Playground. Parents dropping off their students at the start of the morning session will enter the North Playground entrance.

At that time please turn off your vehicle and walk your child to their teacher. When back in your vehicle, exit to the right through the gate and back onto Lyons Road. Please wait until after 8:35 am to arrive at RFS.
