Kiss & Ride Procedures

Fairfax County Public Schools sent this bulletin at 11/02/2017 11:05 AM EDT

Dear Chesterbrook Families,

            During this time of construction, please consider using the bus service as a means of transportation since our school is slated for 100% busing of students.  However, for those of you choosing to use the Kiss and Ride, please continue to adhere to safety procedures throughout the process.  We need your continued cooperation in order for Kiss & Ride to run efficiently and safely for students.  If you are short on time, you are always welcome to park in a legal parking space to expedite your exit. 

 

Here is a list of common violations:

  • No Taking In or Discharging of Passengers on a Highway: -This violation occurs when parents drop off/pick-up their students by pulling to the curb/shoulder of a travel lane to drop off/pick up their student. Vehicles can only take in or discharge passengers when vehicles are pulled to the curb/shoulder in a legal parking lane.
  • No Parking within 10’ of a Driveway: 82-5-1(a)(2)
  • No Parking within 30’ of a Stop Sign: 82-5-1(a)(7)
