1. TRANSPORTATION PROCEDURES

2. WHY DO WE DO THIS?  Child safety is our top priority  Ensures that each child is picked up by a proper parent or guardian every time  Gives us the chance to interact one-on- one with each child every day  Allows us to check in with both kids and parents about any questions or concerns  Helps keep the process organized and efficient Lots of people coming and going in a very small space

3. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?  Issued a yellow card in your registration packet  Write your child’s name on it legibly  Place it on your dashboard so it can be read by an officer from outside the vehicle  A yellow card with your child’s name on it needs to be present each day of camp in order to pick up your child If someone else will be picking up your child during camp, ensure that you give them your child’s yellow card Extra yellow cards are available upon request

4. DROPPING OFF A CHILD  Pull up along the curb to the first available space  Parents need to stay in their cars Apply sunscreen, gather supplies, and give hugs & kisses before you go  Keep traffic flowing – don’t double park!

5. PICKING UP A CHILD  Wait in line until an officer assigns you a number (1-5)  Park along the curb next to your number  The officer will read the names off your yellow cards over the PA

6. PICKING UP A CHILD  During busy times, traffic will line up along Lakeside Drive  Please don’t block the driveways so traffic can keep moving NO

7. One Way Traffic Only  Approach on Lakeside Drive From the East ONLY Enter Parking lot as directed EAST WEST

8. PICKING UP A CHILD  Officers will assist your children with getting into the vehicle and buckling into seatbelts/car seats to keep traffic flowing smoothly

9. KEEP IT EFFICIENT  Leave as a group Wait to drive away from your number until the numbers in front of you start to move  Put the car seat on the right (passenger) side of the car if possible to speed up the process for officers buckling kids in  Parents need to stay in their cars during the pick-up and drop- off process

10. Picking Up A Child  Exit Parking Lot Turn WEST ONLY WEST

11. WHAT IF WE WALK?  Parents who walk with their children will need to wait in line next to the officer with the PA to have the child’s name called  Those children will be asked to report to the sidewalk instead of to a number (1-5)

12. DO I NEED A CAR SEAT?  Iowa Law requires all children under age 6 to be in a child passenger seat (not a seat belt alone!)  To maximize safety, keep your child in the car seat for as long as possible - as long as the child fits within the manufacturer’s height and weight requirements  Keep your child in the back seat at least through age 12 A seat belt should be snug across the shoulder and chest, and should not rest across the neck or face A seat belt should lie across the upper thighs, not the stomach area
