These guidelines are designed to keep all Davis families safe and work best when everyone follows the procedures. There are hundreds of students coming into and leaving the building so…

Be Patient — Be Safe!

General Safety Procedures

  • Obey Safety Patrol students and school staff at all times. 
  • Before 7:30am, students should proceed to the cafeteria (PK-2nd) or blue tables outside near portables (3rd-5th). After 7:30am, students may go directly to class. 
  • Never leave your car unattended in the fire lanes or along the curb. 
  • While dropping off, parents remain in the car and have students exit on the right side, away from traffic. 
  • The back (east drive) parking lot is for staff parking only. Parents should not park in these spots, even if they are empty.
  • Parents are permitted to park in designated spaces in the front lot and WALK their student to the building. The front lot is not a drop off location for students in PK and 1st-5th grade. Kindergarten students only may be dropped off curbside in the front lot. Parent/visitor parking is also available in the Austin Taiwanese Presbyterian Church lot adjacent to Davis (Do NOT just drop your student in parking areas – walk with them). We recognize that walking students in after parking only takes a couple of minutes, but there are some areas where parents should not park:  
    • Reserved STAFF parking spots in the back row facing Duval or the two designated RESERVED spots in the front row facing Davis. 
    • Medical/retirement complex lot or in the William’s School lot across Duval.
    • Two handicap designated parking spots in front of school, unless a permit is displayed in the car.
  • Use of cell phones in a school zone while driving is against the law. Do not use cell phones when in your car on campus.
  • If your student is getting picked up by someone different or going home a different way, a Dojo message or note needs to be sent in the morning to your child’s teacher.  If it is an emergency change in pick-up arrangements, you must call the office and speak with someone before 2:30pm to allow time for this change to be communicated. Do not leave a message on the classroom or office phone. We are not able to accommodate last minute pick up changes after 2:30pm.
