As the car line walker, your duty is a critical one. You enter car numbers into School-Pass, which then notifies students to move to the pickup location and load the car. Follow these instructions to enter car numbers into School-Pass Logging into School-Pass Using your School-Pass account, log into the school-pass website. NOTE: Meadowbrook faculty log into School-Pass at meadowbrook.school-pass.net. Faculty do not use the mobile app, even if using school-pass on a mobile device.

As a classroom teacher, you will receive email notifications when a parent makes a change to a student's pickup plans. However, at the end of the day, it may be helpful to see all the student pickup plans, including changes and non-changes, to review with students how they'll be going home that day. Follow these instructions to run a change report. Log in to the School-Pass Website Using your School-Pass account, log into the school-pass website.

 2018-2019 Pickup & Drop Off Plan Objective: Ensure the safe, orderly and quick drop off and pickup of all students. Overview: After an extensive review from a committee of faculty across all grade levels, parents of all ages, administration and facilities, the following plan seeks to improve the safety and quicken the process of arrival and dismissal at Meadowbrook. We fully expect some growing pains as we enter this system - please do your part by doing your duties diligently and reporting any issues to Maddie Lee. Areas identified for improvement: Safety - Multiple faculty and parents remarked that we have been fortunate not to have had a serious student safety incident in car line. Speed - Carline duration at various times of the year was longer than ideal Orderliness - Carline has been loud and generally chaotic. Key Changes: School Pass - The pink slip system is being replaced by an electronic system called School Pass. Parents will now communicate dismissal and absence changes through the website or app. All changes send an email confirmation to the classroom teachers, the front office and to the parents. This streamlined workflow increases student safety, reduces email and is used in the pickup process. You must get coverage for pickup or drop off duty. The overall number of duties has been reduced, but each duty is critical. Missing a duty endangers the safety of our students. Students load from the curb only. There is now one lane for loading. Cars may carefully pull left of the loading area and depart immediately after loading.This is a huge improvement in student safety and reduces student exposure to moving traffic. This also reduces the number of duties needed. Policies: People at car line cannot be asked to move in order to allow cars parked in the front lot to leave. Be sure to not park the in front lot if needing to exit during carline. If a parent would like to check a child out from the front desk within 30 minutes of carline, they must park in the business office lot and walk down. Meadowbrook can not guarantee changes called in within 30 minutes of carline. Parents must stay with car in carline. If needing to leave a car, they must pull out of carline and park. This is a safety issue. Parents must pick up through carline - no parking in gravel or other nearby streets. Students may never walk up to a parking lot unattended by an adult to meet a parent. Students who break carline procedure may be subject to disciplinary actions. Any student not picked up at end of car line will go to after school, Students in grades JK-5 will be charged the drop in rate All dismissal changes need to go through School Pass or front desk It's extremely important to register drivers as students may be held back until driver can be confirmed. Parents can register drivers through school pass. Parents cannot make changes to school pass within 30 minutes of carline. Any changes at this time must be called in to the front desk. Duties Specific duty assignments will be made and shared by Lower School Coordinators These duties will added to your personal Meadowbrook calendar. Duties are each essential and must be covered, no matter the reason (illness, conference, parent meeting, etc.) This is a student safety issue. If you are unable to find coverage, notify your supervisor. Faculty cannot leave until the duty is completely done. If you trade duties or find coverage for your duty, please notify Pam U so she can update the duties calendar. School Pass Overview School-pass is a comprehensive system to help coordinate the communications and logistics around carline. Overview of School-Pass communications: Parents use school pass to communicate dismissal plans, absences and tardies. This information is collected and used during dismissal. As parents make changes to the dismissal plan, email notifications are automatically sent to the classroom teachers, front desk and the parent themselves as a verification. At dismissal time, students will be staged in smaller groups where a projector will be set to display the school-pass carline view. When a car arrives on campus, the carpool number is added to school-pass by a faculty member. At that time, the car, student name, parent name and other information will be displayed in the staging area of that matching student. The student will then walk to the pickup area. A faculty member in the staging area will mark the student as en route, so the pickup location faculty know the student is on the way. The student is then loaded into the car from the curb - never touching the road for safety. As soon as a car is fully loaded, they will carefully pull left of the carline and proceed to exit campus. As the car leaves campus, the car will be marked as exiting, thus completing the carline process for that vehicle. This process is repeated for each vehicle until the carline has ended.

There is no longer a car line walker duty. The Exit monitor directs cars to pull out waiting lot quickly - if a car is waiting more than 45 seconds at the front of the line they should be moved. The Exit Monitor also enters any unregistered cars into the School Pass Faculty App. All outdoor carline staff must wear a reflective vest for safety. This is extremely important as it is getting darker earlier. All students will gather at the second set of benches, furthest from the grinker vestibule. They will wait there, and walk with their cars towards the front of the line. This helps students see their cars and will help ensure the full sidewalk is used for loading. Students will be instructed to walk towards their car and enter the car - no longer waiting for a teacher’s help. Now that students are loading strictly from the sidewalk, it’s completely safe for a student to load. If a student needs to load from anywhere other than a sidewalk, they must wait for teacher help. Loaders will also be sure to help our youngest students, particularly JK, SK and 1st grade students.

If you have the classroom dismissal duty, you will need to project the filtered view of School-Pass for the students in the room. Follow these instructions to ensure you are filtering correctly for the students in the classroom. Log in to School Pass and enter Carline Set your filtering settings Click the green filter button in the top right, to set your filtering options. Set your location Click the blue Change button. Then, set your classroom to match the students you have in the room. Recommended filtering settings Please use the following settings: Set your location to the students in the classroom Sort Desc so the cars that entered carline first (those at the front of the line) are displayed at the top of the screen. Turn the Sound on so an audible notification will be heard when a student in your class needs to leave for carline Turn Images on so students see their photos on the screen Turn Full screen on so the school pass list is as large and visible as possible Turn auto-refresh on so the list automatically updates. Ensure the pickup area and dismissal times are correct for your dismissal
