Would you like to be sure that our preschoolers start their day off with a friendly welcome? Please join the CCEP Carpool Volunteers! Volunteers meet at the reception desk at 8:35 AM on their scheduled day and don a CCEP Carpool Name Tag. Carpool begins at 8:45 AM and ends at 9:15 AM. There is a monthly schedule, based on your scheduling preferences, and volunteers are responsible for finding a replacement, if needed. We currently need 20 - 25 more parent volunteers to complete this year's schedule.

Carpool and Drop off Procedure (8:45-9:15 a.m.)
Classes begin at 9:00 a.m. Drop off time is from 8:45 a.m. until 9:15 a.m. Being on time starts the day right for both the child and the class. When children have a predictable routine at school, it is easier on everyone.
We have found that children make smoother transitions when they separate from their parent at carpool. Carpool pickup is also used for this age group in the afternoon at 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Cars will queue from Broadus, and an administrator will radio the names of parents proceeding through the line.
Pick up procedures (1:00-1:15 and 2:30-2:40)
Children will be in the area around the fountain where they will wait to be picked up. The cars will queue from Broadus, and an administrator will radio the names of parents proceeding through the line.
Four Parents/staff members will be stationed at the wrought iron entrance gate down to the end of the playground. They will walk the children into the building where staff will be waiting to direct them into their classrooms.
Procedures for Severely Inclement Weather
Children will be dropped off and picked up in the covered circular drive off Washington by McCall Parlor. Cars will still queue from Broadus, through the curve and onto Washington, into the covered, circular portico. Children will wait in McCall. Cars will only be permitted to turn right out of the portico.
