Portledge in the Now.
Driving on Campus & Arrival/ Dismissal Procedures
Parking
Since there will be a number of ongoing maintenance projects to be completed, we need to adjust parking arrangements for the start of the school year. For the first two weeks of September, all Middle and Lower School Faculty and Admin will park only in the lot by the baseball field. Shuttle buses will be available to and from the building (please do not walk along the road at any time). Upper School Faculty, Staff, and Culinart employees are asked to park behind the gymnasium and use other parking areas for overflow only. After this period, parking will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

- Early Childhood & Lower School:
Please take a left at the Stop sign after the guard booth and follow the road around to drop-off at the front of the Lower School. Exit following the same road used to enter. Drop-off for Early Childhood is between 8:15 and 8:40 a.m. and 7:45 and 8:20 for the Lower School. - Middle School:
Drivers should take a right at the stop sign after the guard booth. Follow the road past the Head of School’s office (formerly the Admissions Office) to drop off in front of the Middle School. Exit following the same road used to enter.
Please note: the new roundabout between the Middle School and the Commons is NOT to be used during Arrival and Dismissal.
- Upper School:
There is no longer access to the Upper School via the Middle School roadway. Drivers should take the new road by going straight ahead at the stop sign after passing the Lower School parking lot. Follow the road around the back of campus and playing fields and continue to the drop-off area after the tennis courts. Follow the road in the opposite direction to exit.
Please note: the new roundabout between the Middle School and the Commons is NOT to be used during Arrival and Dismissal.
Security
- Please make sure your Portledge security sticker is clearly visible when entering the campus.
- For morning arrival, traffic tends to be lightest during 7:40 - 8:00 a.m.
- All students who leave campus during the day must follow the division-specific sign-out procedures and stop at the security booth on their way out for final clearance.
- All parents taking their students out of school during the school day are requested to call ahead to let their division administrators know of these arrangements.
