Parent Provided Transportation
Parents are responsible for the safety of students who are transported to and from school by a parent’s personal vehicle. Procedures and directions must be followed with regard to vehicle traffic flow and parking. The following are general procedures:
- Parents are responsible for students’ safety when students walk between the school and vehicles and must drive SLOWLY through the parking lot.
- Students walking into school during morning drop-off time from parked vehicles must cross through the coned-off area just north of the school doors. Students will NOT be allowed to cross to the sidewalk from any other parking area without an adult escort, and then only in the crosswalk directly in front of the school doors.
- Students waiting for parents must wait on the sidewalk west of the bike racks.
- NO parking or stopping along the yellow curb north of the parish center.
- There will be NO parking or stopping in the handicap areas without a permit.

ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL plans for the 2023-2024 school year
Arrival
Students can arrive at school from 9:05 - 9:15 am. Please wait with your child(ren) outside until the main doors open at 9:05 am. Students need to be seated by 9:20 am or they will be marked tardy. Morning announcements are at 9:23 am.
Dismissal
Students will begin dismissal immediately following the 3:50 pm bell. Students will be called to dismiss from their classroom alphabetically by last name in 3 groups (A-I, J-Q, and R-Z). Students will exit the building through Door 2 (or Door 9 if you are also picking up a preschool child). They will not be allowed to leave the sidewalk without an adult present.
It is the parents' responsibility to arrange transportation home for their children. Unless prior arrangements have been made, each child must be picked up no later than 4:00 pm. Students who have not been picked up by this time will be taken to St. Odilia's after-school program, Knight Watch, and parents will be invoiced accordingly.

Residents of certain school districts who send their children to St. Odilia may be eligible for transportation reimbursement from the school district of residence. At the end of each school year, these school districts pass the responsibility to distribute the transportation reimbursement to individual families on to St. Odilia. St. Odilia receives a lump sum check from these districts with a list of families and the amount of reimbursement, which is typically based on the distance from the family’s house to the border of the district. Since St. Odilia is tasked with the responsibility to process and record each transaction, St. Odilia will charge a $20 administrative fee per family reimbursement. In the event that the reimbursement is less than $20, a check will not be issued. Any past due amounts for tuition or school-related fees will also be deducted prior to issuing the transportation reimbursement check.
Transportation Notes: Anytime a student’s usual transportation method is changed their parent/guardian must notify the school office via email at [email protected]. The email must indicate the bus and/or the person by which the child will be transported. The office will notify the teachers of the change.
