Drop-Off and Pick-Up Safety: Safety must constantly be on every driver’s mind when transporting boys in private cars to and from the School. Seat belts should always be used.
Kindergarten through eighth-grade students should be dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon at the Jones Street entrance to the School.
Leaving School Early: When it is necessary for a boy to leave unexpectedly from school before regular dismissal, parents should inform the homeroom teacher and the Front Desk by 11:00 a.m. via email or phone call, of the required time for the student’s release and the reason for it. All students leaving early are to exit the building through the Sacramento Street entrance and must sign out at the Front Desk. Families should come to the Front Desk to pick up their sons. During drop-off and pick-up: Your cooperation with the security officer is expected and appreciated. Drivers should stay in their cars and move as far forward in the white zone as possible. If your son is not at the white zone when you arrive and there is no room to wait, please drive around the block. In consideration of our neighbors, there is NO DOUBLE PARKING. You may not leave your car parked and unattended in the WHITE ZONE for any reason during arrival or dismissal times. Please carpool to help reduce Cathedral School’s carbon footprint. Because parking is difficult, Cathedral School will continue to have a ten-minute grace period for parents running late to pick up their boys at dismissal time. After the grace period, kindergarten through fourth-grade boys are to report to after-care. Grades fifth through eighth report to study hall (Monday–Thursday) or after-care (Friday). Parents will be billed for drop-in. Boys may not be dismissed to a taxi or car service such as Uber without a parent/guardian present. Upper School boys may walk home or ride the bus; however, they may not leave campus unsupervised and then return to after-school programs or sports practices. Students may not visit Peet’s in the Cathedral or local corner markets without parental supervision. Lunch and Snacks Hot lunch will be served daily in the Gresham Cafeteria. Boys will also be provided with a mid-morning snack. If your son prefers to bring in his mid-morning snack, it should be healthy, light food such as fruit or crackers. Due to possible student allergies, the School has a no-nut policy for all snacks and lunches.
