Parent Pick up Lane Please help keep our Hull Heroes safe by following these rules in parent pick up lane. Please pull all the way forward in the parent pick up lane. If you have a kinder child, do not stop in front of the kinder playground. A safety patrol member will happily assist your child in getting to the playground. Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the parent pick up lane. Children need to exit the car on the side closest to the curb. Only cross at the designated cross- walk where the crossing guard on duty will assist you. If your child needs assistance, please park in the parking lot and walk him or her to the building.
