Commuting to Ohlone

Ohlone is a commuter school. As such, the parking lot is busy and can be dangerous at drop off and pick up. Please observe these safety precautions and parking guidelines.

Safety precautions

When children are getting out of a car, they should exit directly onto a sidewalk. There is one lane only for drop-off. Children may only be dropped off from the right most lane in the circle.

Children and parents should use crosswalks and sidewalks to get from a parked car onto the Ohlone campus.

Please drive slowly and be on the lookout for children who have not yet learned all of the safety rules.

Parking Guidelines.

Please do not park in the staff parking areas or behind the classrooms near the library. Even though these spaces may be empty when you arrive, some members of our staff are scheduled to come later in the morning, and those spots are reserved for them.

Please do not park in the bus zones ever.

 

 

Interested in carpooling, bikepooling, or walkpooling? Contact our coordinator to find a partner or two.

Help Ohlone be a good neighbor.
