School buses load and unload on Lucia Avenue in front of Bloom.
No cars should pull up or stop on Lucia Avenue during arrival and dismissal for student safety. These NO-STOPPING times are 6:35–7:50 a.m. and 1:35–2:50 p.m. It is against the law for cars to stop in the bus zone during these times. If we notice families are breaking this rule, we will send messages asking you to follow our arrival and dismissal plan. Also, Bloom staff will report cars to authorities. During these times, cars parked in the us zone will be ticketed and towed by Louisville Metro Police. Safety is our #1 priority.
Car riders are dropped off and picked up at the covered back porch. They enter Bloom's back alley door. Staff members greet and welcome students at the covered porch each morning and assist with loading cars safely each afternoon.
ARRIVAL for car riders is open from 7–7:30 a.m.
DISMISSAL for car riders is open from 2:10–2:25 p.m.

Morning walkers enter through the front door between 7 and 7:30 a.m. Afternoon walker dismissal meets caregivers/families on the playground between 2:10 and 2:25 p.m. Parents form a line on the ramp, a staff member enters your dismissal tag number, and you'll be asked to wait in an area/zone for your child to exit Bloom.
Caregivers and family members picking up walkers must bring their dismissal tags. Anyone who does not have the official dismissal tag for the current school year must provide a photo ID at the front porch after the dismissal rush, which will be at 2:25 p.m.
