Morning Drop-Off

Main Campus

• Drivers should approach Pacifica using Monrovia Avenue. From Monrovia Ave. cul-de-sac, turn right into the southernmost driveway of the 1499 Monrovia Avenue campus. Driving down 15th Street and turning left onto Monrovia Avenue is prohibited.
• When entering the parking lot, drivers will form a single file line that wraps around the back of the property.
• Please pull all the way around the building into the marked Drop-Off/Pick-Up Zone as traffic allows. Drivers are not permitted to drop students outside of the Drop-Off/Pick-Up Zone.
• Students may be dropped off along the entire length of the Walking Area, and are only permitted to unload along the passenger side of the vehicle. No trunk unloading is allowed in this zone. Students are to have all school materials, including backpacks and lunches, ready before exiting the vehicle.
• The driver must remain in the vehicle at all times and all driver-side doors are to remain closed.
• Once students are dropped off, drivers will be directed to pull forward and fill in all gaps in the Drop-Off/Pick-Up Zone.
• To exit the parking lot, proceed straight onto 15th Street as traffic allows. Turning left onto Monrovia is prohibited.

Afternoon Pick-Up

• Pick-up drivers are not allowed to arrive on campus until 3 PM each day. Those who arrive early will be turned away.
  • Under no circumstances are pick-up drivers allowed to park or wait on Monrovia Avenue, 15th Street, or in the Coastline College parking lot to enter campus at 3 PM.
  • This policy allows student drivers to more easily exit campus directly after school and allows plenty of time for all other students to make their way to the Pick-Up Area after school ends at 2:50 PM.
• If a pick-up driver enters the Pick-Up Area before their student(s) arrives, they will be asked to enter the Triton Loop by exiting campus down 15th Street, turning left on Placentia Avenue, left on 16th Street, and left on Monrovia Avenue, and then re-starting the Pick-Up Route.
• Please pre-arrange your pick-up time with your student or carpool group so they are prepared and waiting for you in the Pick-Up Area.
• Pick-up procedures are the same as drop-off; approach from Monrovia Avenue, no left turns from 15th Street.
• To exit the parking lot, proceed straight onto 15th Street as traffic allows. Turning left onto Monrovia is prohibited.

General Expectations:

• Be your student’s best example. Please be courteous and follow all safety guidelines at all times.
• Drop-off is not allowed prior to 7:50 AM. Please arrange a ride for your student prior to 3:30 PM as supervision is not provided unless a school event is taking place.
• Follow all directions from school safety personnel. They are there to help this process run smoothly.
• Pick-Up and Drop-Off must occur ONLY on Pacifica’s campus and are never permitted on surrounding streets or at Coastline College. No warnings will be issued. Consequences will be given to the student being picked up on the first, and any subsequent, occurrence.
