Cochrane School Car Rider Traffic Pattern

For the safety of our students, it is vital that the following procedures are followed.

  1. From Tregaron Avenue, TURN RIGHT on Renown Drive, which becomes Steeplechase Drive. From Steeplechase Drive, TURN RIGHT into the back of Cochrane Elementary to form a car rider line (No Left Turns Into School).


  2. When exiting the school’s property Turn Right onto Steeplechase Drive (No Left Turns Onto Steeplechase Drive) and proceed to Swing Drive to exit the neighborhood. Please review the above map. Student drop off starts at 8:40 am and pick up begins at 3:45 pm (Right Turns Only in/out of School).


  3. Students who are CAR RIDERS will be dismissed from the side door nearest the parking lot at 3:45 p.m. under the supervision of school personnel. If your child is a car rider, you must pick them up from the designated car rider area. A car rider number will be assigned to you and should be visible to school personnel at all times. Stay in your car when dropping off or picking up your child. The car rider line moves quickly.


  4. When entering the car rider line, pull all the way down to the designated cones/markings when dropping off or picking up your child. It is imperative that no student progresses toward the car line until All Cars Are Stopped. Please remind your child of this (as we will) throughout this learning process.


  5. Do not park on Steeplechase Drive. Do not drop off your child on Steeplechase Drive. Students are NOT permitted to leave the front of the school to walk to ANY parked vehicle.

Cochrane Elementary School will not release any student in an unsafe situation. Again, it is vital that families adhere to the abovementioned expectations. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our school at 502-485-8231.
