Drop Off and Pick Up - Draper 2 Campus

Guiding Principles

We focus on several principles to ensure the best experience during drop off and pick up.

Courtesy

The most important thing our families and students can practice while coming to the school is courtesy. Please be kind, be patient, and thoughtful of others.

Community

The community at Draper 2 & 3 extends beyond the students, staff, and families. It includes the families in the nearby neighborhoods, the local businesses, and everyone who uses Lone Peak Parkway. Please join us in being courteous to ALL members of our APA community.

Self-Government

Our country was founded on the principle of self-government. Self-government is the ability to regulate one’s self without intervention from an outside authority. This is a critical principle for the members of our community. We rely on parents and families to govern themselves – to follow the guidelines and procedures for drop off and pick up.

Getting to Campus

Come from the North

Please approach Draper 2/3 from the NORTH. During drop off and pick up it is unsafe to enter our property from the south.

7:30 am – 8:05 am
3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Friday
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Wednesday, Thursday

Be Courteous

DO NOT DRIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
- Election Rd, Inauguration Rd, Bubbling Brook Ln, Beverly Ann Dr
DO NOT U-TURN IN THE INTERSECTIONS
If you must approach from the south, USE RIVER CHAPEL ROAD to turn around and enter the property from the north.

You will find that there is NO QUICK and COURTEOUS way to come from the south and turn around. Please take the extra few minutes to join the queue coming from the north.

Follow Traffic Laws

YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC – those turning left must yield to those going straight, or turning right
KEEP CLEAR – When traffic slows or stops, follow the markings on the street and do not block the intersection
- Allow those in neighborhood streets to enter and exit
DO NOT CHANGE LANES during an intersection – the areas that say Keep Clear
RIGHT OF WAY – those turning left should always yield to those going straight or turning right
FLOW OF TRAFFIC – do not impede the flow of traffic
CHANGING LANES – after turning onto a road, wait at least 2 seconds before changing lanes

On Campus

Follow Staff Directions

Please follow the directions of our staff during drop off and pick up. Remember – most of our staff assisting at these busy times are teachers and instructors. You can show them your appreciation by following directions.

Pick Up Tag

Whenever you are on the property, please DISPLAY YOUR PICK UP TAG
- It is ideal to hang the card, or have it attached to the driver’s visor
- It is very difficult for our staff to see when it is sitting on the dashboard
Please do not use your cell phone during drop off and pick up

Know Your Curb, Follow Your Lane

These maps show the correct flow of traffic, depending on the curb(s) you need to access.

Morning Drop Off

In the morning there is only ONE LANE for drop off
- A and B curbs drop off along the entire A/B curb
- C and D curbs drop off along the entire C/D curb
Students should GET READY as soon as you come on the property
Pull ALL THE WAY FORWARD
EXIT CURBSIDE – it is ideal if students can sit and get out of the car by the curb
Parents should STAY IN THE CAR
As soon as students have exited, parents can move into the exit lane and leave
Form two lines as you exit through the parking lot, and zipper merge

Afternoon Pick Up

Arrival Times

Please DO NOT ARRIVE before your assigned time:
- 2:50 pm – Purple, reserved for families with only Draper 3 students
- 3:15 pm – Yellow, reserved for families with students at both campuses
- 3:30 pm – Blue, reserved for families with only Draper 2 students
- 3:45 pm – Red, reserved for families with only Draper 2 students

It is particularly important that YELLOW dismissal not arrive before 3:15 pm. As you can see from the charts below, a large amount of Purple dismissal (60% of Draper 3 students) need to come and leave before Yellow arrives.

Both Campuses Together

Again, we remind you to please:
