Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off Guidelines
Please remember that Coyotes C.A.R.E. when driving.
To ensure the safe arrival and dismissal of our children, we encourage everyone to share the responsibility of respectfully working together to follow the following pick-up and drop off procedures.
Please remember that student drop-off begins at 7:45 in the morning. Parents should refrain from dropping off students before 7:45 due to lack of supervision. Morning duty staff arrive at 7:45 to open the school gate and are stationed throughout the entrance to the building and inside the building.
Parents/guardians Copper Trails students should use drop-off loop located on Canyon Trails Blvd. Please pull all the way into the parking lot before letting passengers out of the vehicle; this allows the maximum number of vehicles access to the curb adjacent to the school; this is the safest place to drop-off your child. Letting children out before entering the drive is unsafe and causes traffic to back up on Garfield Street.
The safest place for your child to exit your vehicle is the passenger side. The parking lot is wide enough for cars to pass each other without creating a dangerous situation for pedestrians in the loop.
An adult is on the sidewalk adjacent to the parking lot to greet your child and supervise their transition into the school, eliminating the need to get out of your car.
Students will be accompanied by their teachers and released to their parents/guardians during pickup. Please remain in your vehicles and in line according to the order in which they arrive. Avoid cutting in front of others who have been waiting patiently to pick up their children.
Please do not park or exit your vehicle when in the parking lot. Parking prevents the lot from being used safely and reduces the number of cars that can use the lot.
K-2 students are picked up on the back of the school utilizing the driveway entrance from the small parking lot. 3-8 students are picked up in the large/main parking lot.The small parking lot is designated for buses and staff parking only.
Please abide by the traffic laws and signs posted on Canyon Trails Blvd.
Please pull all the way forward in lot before letting your children out of your car in order to ensure that traffic does not build up onto Canyon Trails Blvd.
Under no circumstances are you to park and wait in the designated handicapped parking spaces. Only drivers displaying the handicapped insignia are to park in those spots.
Again, our goal is to provide a safe and efficient method of dropping off and picking up students at Copper Trails. We appreciate your cooperation! Safety is our # 1 concern!
