OIS Student Drop-off and Pick-up Guidelines

  • Pickup/Dropoff Location: Always use the OIS Traffic Circle in front of the main entrance for drop-off and pick-up. This is the safest and most
  • Traffic Circle Rules: To keep traffic moving and ensure safety, please strictly avoid the following actions:
    • DO NOT drop off or pick up students across from the upper OIS field bus turnout area. This creates congestion and reduces visibility.
    • DO NOT load or unload students in the middle of the street.
    • DO NOT park or wait on Ivy Drive near the school's entrance, as this blocks the traffic circle entry/exit.
    • DO NOT allow students to wait on private property.
    • DO NOT block any mailboxes or driveways on Ivy Drive or adjacent streets. Please be a courteous neighbor.
  • Minimizing Congestion: We recommend dropping off before 8:30 AM and picking up after 3:45 PM to help minimize congestion in the circle and surrounding streets.
  • Off-Campus Pick-up: If you cannot use the main traffic circle, please instruct your student to wait in one of the approved zones to minimize neighborhood congestion:
    • Wait on the school side of Ivy Drive (between Risa and Coral).
    • Use the OIS lower field exit for pick-up.
