Transportation

• The main carpool drop-off between  7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. is under the awning. Please pull up as far as possible to allow the maximum of cars.
• An ECLC staff member will help get the child out of the car and into the building. Parents may be asked to help if the child is having difficulty.
• Alternatively, the parent may park their car in the upper lot of the Montgomery Community Church parking lot (which connects to our property) and walk their child into the building.
• Starting 2023-2024, we will have a Safety Officer stationed in the MCC lot. If you intend to exit via MCC lot, you must follow the traffic lane straight from the ECLC/EBL Campus gate, stop at the stop sign, and then turn left into the Harper’s Point lot. For safety reasons, you may not cut across the parking lot to the right or exit in the front of MCC Church onto Montgomery Road.

Gr 7-8 Only Early Pick-Up:

• Who?  Gr 7-8 students not involved with a club meeting or after school sport and with no PK-Gr 6 siblings
• Why?  Alleviate student congestion during afternoon carpool.
• How does it work?
  • Arrive no earlier than 2:45.
  • Line up around the flag pole circle drive directly in front of the 7-8 entrance, pulling all the way forward to the curb adjacent to the end of the building or to the car in front of you. If needed, please use the last two lanes of the main parking lot to join the serpentine que. Faculty will assist with this procedure in the first weeks of school.
  • After loading your student, exit quickly.
  • The early pick-up lane shuts down at 3:05 p.m.  All cars waiting on students or arriving late will be directed back to the holding lanes in the parking lot to pick up students as described in the video.

• Parents can drop/pick up students in the circle at the Main Entrance. Please pull all the way forward.
• Reminder: we have many new student drivers who park and drive in the MSL Upper School parking lot.
• Watch the pavement markings as some through-ways are one way.
• The lot surrounding the building is reserved for visitors, staff, and paying seniors.
• All students parking must purchase a pass.
