Kamiak Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures

How our parking and drop off and pick up practices work:

  • Only buses can enter the bus drop off and pick up zone – don’t worry, this is clearly marked! The parent drop off and pick up loop is for drop offs and pick ups only – please don’t park here. The ADA Accessible parking in the drop off and pick up loop is always accessible. There are also a few visitor parking spots in the drop off and pick up loop, but we ask that parents NOT park here during drop off and pick up times (8-8:45am and 2:30-3:15pm, because the spots are difficult to back out of and will impede the drop off and pick up process.)
  • Our staff and guest parking lot has a gate that closes off the entrance from traffic entering or exiting the lot between 7:50-8:20am and 2:45-3:10pm. This is a requirement from the city so that our walking and biking students have the safest route possible into Kamiak. All are welcome to park in this lot, but please be aware that if the gate closes while your car is in the lot, you’ll be stuck until it reopens!
  • To allow adequate traffic flow and visibility, the curb along the Kamiak side of Terre View does not allow parking, waiting, or drop offs/pick ups. Students are encouraged to consider walking or biking to Kamiak as possible!
