Student Drop-off & Pick-up

Drop-off Procedures
Parents driving west on Torrance Boulevard
  • Parents driving west on Torrance Blvd., who are making a left turn, must turn into the campus. They may not make a left turn into the East Parking Lot.
  • Parents must drive onto the campus, and continue driving until they have arrived to the designated drop-off point located in the East Parking Lot.
  • Drop-oofs and Pick-ups are prohibited in front of the school. Parents must drop-off students in the designated passenger drop-off points located in the East Parking Lot, adjacent to the school. Parents who are conducting official business with the Main Office must park their vehicles in the East Parking Lot, check in with Security, and walk to the Main Office. Parents will enter the East Parking Lot through the northeast entrance, by the marquee. 
  • The Security Staff will be available to control traffic.
 
Parent driving east on Torrance Boulevard
  • Parents driving east on Torrance Blvd. may not enter the campus. All parents driving east on Torrance Blvd. must proceed to enter the East Parking Lot in order to drop-off their students in the designated drop-off points. Students may not be dropped-off on Torrance Blvd.
 
Please not that u-turns in front of the school are not permitted. The only legal place to make a u-turn is at the corner of Torrance Blvd. and Prospect.
 
Exiting the East Parking Lot
  • All drivers exiting the East Parking Lot must make a right turn ONLY. Cars may not proceed onto the street until they have stopped at the stop sign.
  • Drivers may not merge to make a left on Henrietta, as attempting to do so is unsafe and will cause a delay for the other parents who are attempting to exit.
 
Around the Neighborhood
We encourage all parents to drop-off their student on-campus. To avoid the last minute rush, we strongly encourage you to arrive before 7:30 AM. The traffic flow on Torrance Blvd. is heavier after this time, and may affect how quickly you are able to exit the campus. If you decide to drop-off your student anywhere else, please refrain from dropping off your student at our neighboring businesses, or residential driveways, as this creates an inconvenience for our neighbors. Also, please make sure to drop-off your students in areas that are safe. We have received many reports that students are being dropped-off by their parents/carpool drivers illegally by the red curb zones, or in the middle of the street on Palos Verdes Blvd., and on Henrietta. In the interest of the safety of all pedestrians and drivers, we encourage that students be dropped-off on campus where their safety can be ensured.
 
Students Parking Off-Campus
If you student parks on Henrietta or Palos Verdes Blvd., please remind him/her to be courteous and respectful to our neighbors. We request that your student not drive into the residential areas playing loud music, or leave trash on the street. Our neighbors will welcome your student's courtesy.
Also, the City of Torrance has also asked that our students not park on the side streets near Henrietta. The residents are unable to park in front of their homes when our students park on the residential streets.
 
Lastly, in the interest of our students' safety, we also would like for you to remind your student to obey all traffic and pedestrian laws. Many students are crossing the street when the signal light is blinking red or are not using the appropriate crosswalks. We have received phone calls from parents, faculty, and residents concerned over our students' safety.
