At RSCA, the safety of our students, families, and staff is our top priority. Properly following drop-off, pick-up, and student parking procedures helps keep everyone safe, ensures traffic flows smoothly, and minimizes delays. Please review the guidelines below carefully and help us maintain a secure and efficient campus environment by following them each day.
Pre-K, Kindergarten, 4th and 5th grade students will all be dropped off and picked up at the
modular building. Parents will enter the property from Chappell Mill Road at the Big Cross.
Please stay in the right-hand lane. Proceed down the drive and turn right into the modular
parking lot, drop off or pick up your child and proceed to the left side of the parking lot in
front of the Children’s Building. You may exit straight out onto Rock Springs Road IF you do
not have a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade student to pick up. If you do, you will follow the car line to the
right in front of the Main Sanctuary and loop beside the Learning Center and drop off or
pick up at the awning. You will then circle around and exit next to the cemetery onto Rock
Springs Road. You will follow the same path for both drop off and dismissal.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students will be dropped off and picked up at the awnings below the
elementary school building next to the Learning Center. Parents will enter the property
from Chappell Mill Road at the Big Cross. Please stay in the left-hand lane. Proceed down
the drive and continue to the left side of the parking lot in front of the Children’s Building.
Follow the car line to the right hand turn in front of the Main Sanctuary and loop beside the
Learning Center and drop off or pick up at the awning. You will then circle around and exit
next to the cemetery onto Rock Springs Road. You will follow the same path for both drop
off and dismissal.
Additional Important Car line Information:
• All families will have new car tags this year. We will NOT use the older tags as a
security measure. If you need additional car tags, please contact our receptionist
Deanna Ballew for additional tags at dballew@rsca.info
• Please make sure your pickup and drop off list is up to date. Any car rider changes
need to be called in and emailed to Mrs. Ballew no later than 2:00pm. All parents
without a car tag will be required to show a picture ID and checked in our computer
system. We will not release a student to anyone without proper ID and verification.
Not having a car tag visibly hanging WILL SLOW DOWN THE LINE. Please be
considerate.
• Drop off is between 7:30 and 7:59 am. If you arrive after 8am please park and walk
your child to the either the modular or elementary building where their classroom is
located. Pre-K will sign in at the High School (3rd floor of the Children’s Building).
Please never just drop off a child if you are late. You MUST walk them in and sign in.
• Pick up starts at 2:50 and ends at 3:05 (unless the line is backed up and parents are
still actively in line to pick up students) If you arrive after 3:05 you will need to park
and walk to the elementary cafeteria side door to pick your child up from After
School and a late fee will apply.
