Arrival and Dismissal

Crossing Guard Crossing guard
 
 
At Beryl Heights, safety is our number one priority. Each year, our parent volunteers support our morning student drop-off on Maria Street. We ask parents who drive their students to school to use the valet between 7:50 and 8:15 in the morning. Students may also enter the school on Lucia Street. As traffic tends to build up, please give yourself enough time to get to school and park, if needed. Do not double park on any of the adjacent streets. Thank you for your cooperation. 

For after-school dismissal, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades usually exit on the Lucia side of the school. 4th and 5th-grade students usually exit on the Maria side of the street. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at (310)798-8611.
 
If you are picking up your child from CDC or Right At School, please call them directly when you arrive. 
 
TRAFFIC AND PARKING SAFETY GUIDELINES AND REMINDERS
 
Beryl has parking guidelines in place to assist with student safety, guest parking, and to ensure our staff is parked and ready to begin the day with the students. By following the procedures outlined on this page for our parking lot, and by respecting the traffic and school rules in place, we will all have a better experience in traffic flow. When entering a school zone, remember to:
 
  • Slow down to 25 mph
  • Watch for students and families by stopping at crosswalks and adhering to all traffic rules.
  • NEVER let your child exit the car on the "street side of the vehicle". This puts them at risk with oncoming traffic. Instead, please have your child exit on the sidewalk side of the vehicle.
  • If you are using the valet line, please pull all the way up and allow the valet attendant (in a bright colored vest) help your child exit the vehicle. 
We thank you in advance for supporting the continued safety of our students and school by following traffic rules in a school zone, and by adhering to the parking lot and valet area guidelines.
