Parking at Patterson

Please remember that the handicapped parking spaces are for the use of students or visitors with disabilities.  You may not use these spaces for parking, unloading or picking up your child, unless you meet this requirement.

Patterson has a student drop-off and pick-up area near the Kindergarten classrooms.  Parents can drop off their students safely and quickly, and then continue driving south on Cabrillo Drive (no left turns upon exiting during drop-off and pick-up times).

Students should be dropped off either in the Drive-In Round Up, staffed by the Patterson Safety Patrol, or from a street-parked car onto the sidewalk to reach school grounds.  For safety and efficiency reasons, please do not release your student on the street from a stationary vehicle with its engine running.

Remember that the area directly in front of the school, and 100 feet in all street directions is a School Zone.  This makes U-turns illegal in this area; also, traffic violations in this area can have their fines doubled.  Please watch for the safety of your student and others by driving safely!

Buses will be parking in the drive-up area in the front of the Multi-Purpose Room, in the morning and afternoon.  Please do not enter this area.

The back of the school has vehicle access for staff and school district vehicles, as well as day care users.  Please exercise extreme caution if you are in this area.  Students use this as an access point walking to and from school and it can be hard to see them if you are reversing or turning your vehicle.  Please use the designated school areas for dropping-off and picking-up your student.
