Parking Lot Guidelines
NDE has specific drop off and pick up procedures to ensure our students' safety and due to our limited campus parking. Please do not park in the street out of courtesy to our neighbors. Neighbor's driveways should NEVER be blocked.
For morning drop off:
Enter the NDE campus from Notre Dame Avenue. Proceed to loading/unloading area (see map below). Children should proceed directly to the upper playground area in front of the school after exiting your car. Exit the campus via Laxague Drive/College Way.
At recess and lunch:
There will be no through traffic in the parking lot between recess 10:25 to 10:45 and lunch 12:25 to 12:55. Please use Laxague Road during this time.
For afternoon pick up:
Enter the NDE campus from Notre Dame Avenue. Proceed to the loading/unloading area. NEVER LEAVE YOUR CAR UNATTENDED. Form two lines of cars alongside the lower playground as shown on the map. Place the placard with your family name on your dashboard where the parking lot volunteer can see it. Teachers will walk their classes out to the schoolyard and supervise the students until they are picked up. The parking lot coordinator will call your last name as you approach the loading/unloading area. A parking lot volunteer will assist your child. NDE parking spaces are reserved for use by the "Parent Parking Volunteers".
To ensure that this process proceeds quickly and safely, please:
- Drive through the line and have the volunteers load your child (unless you are volunteering in the school)
- Do NOT double-park outside the carriage house (university maintenance area)
- Do NOT park in the faculty lot
- Do NOT park in the parking lot (unless you are volunteering); please let all who pick up your children know of these procedures
