At peak hours (7:30-8:30 A.M. and 2:30 to 4:00 P.M.) cars proceed in a westerly direction only along Lyndon Street in front of the school. On mornings, parents are allowed to drop off their children from their cars in front of the Western Gate only. On afternoons parents are advised to park their cars and walk to the school to pick up their children. Picking up your child in front of the school's western gate is discouraged unless your child is aware that you have arrived and is already waiting at the western gate inside of the school. This guideline is given to reduce the level of traffic in the afternoons.
The safety and security of our children is of paramount importance at Curepe Presbyterian. Children are to wait inside of the school compound until their parent or guardian arrives. Parents picking up their children after school are not to go beyond the white line on the school's compound unless they have given permission to do so.
