St. Christopher School

Our parking facilities are difficult due to lack of space. Teachers and monitors on duty are doing their best to keep the children safe. Please cooperate and follow these directions and signals given to you.

Morning Drop-off

Pre-K and Kindergarten

Parents are to drive into the schoolyard in a single line up to the staircase. Someone will be there to assist your child. Please move as quickly as possible in order to allow a smooth flow of traffic.

Grades 1 through 6

When drivers turn onto Brookline Street from Cushing Avenue for drop off, please pull into the bus parking, all the way up to the sidewalk into the school. Please do not drive into the lot (including rainy days), and do not linger to watch your children walk into the building, etc. If you need more time (i.e. backpack splits, child has a concern, big project to bring in, etc.), please park in the upper parking lot so that you will not hold up traffic. Please do not park in the bus lane.

Morning Pick-up

AM Pre-K – 11:25 AM Dismissal

Please wait until our 5th and 6th grade students have entered the building following their morning recess (which ends at 11:25 AM) before pulling into the parking lot for pick-up. It would be helpful if you would line up in single file along the side of the building (in the bus lane) until all students have entered the building, then pull into the parking lot and park your vehicles. Wait at the top of the staircase. A teacher will be there to dismiss your child to you.

Afternoon Pick-up

Full Day Pre-K and Kindergarten – 2:55 PM Dismissal – Back School Parking Lot

All Full Day Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be dismissed at 2:55 PM out the back door into the school parking lot. You will need to park your car and walk to the top of the stairs into the school to meet your child. After Care children will be sent to the Church Hall and walkers will be dismissed through the church side door and escorted to the crossing guard on Manchester St.

Grades 1 through 6 "Outside Nashua" Group – 3:00 PM Dismissal – Back School Parking Lot

All students residing outside Nashua will be dismissed out the back door into the school parking lot. Students in grades 1 through 6 who carpool with a Full Day Pre-K or Kindergarten student will also be dismissed out the back door at 3:00 PM regardless of whether or not they reside in Nashua or outside Nashua.

Parking in the back parking lot

We ask that you start parking in the spaces at the top of the lot, backing into the spaces along the outer sides of the lot. Please try to fill the first available spot. Middle row parking slots should be the last ones filled. This allows everyone room to back into slots without having to maneuver around obstacles.

We are aware there is not sufficient parking. We ask those who have a Full Day Pre-K or Kindergarten student who does not carpool with a student in grades 1 through 6 to please exit the lot as soon as possible. If the lot is full, please form a line down Hill Street and as one car exits the lot, another please enter. We ask that you enter through the right opening and exit through the left opening. We thank you for your cooperation and patience.

After children are in cars, please take a right up Brookline Street or go straight ahead down Hill Street. Please do not go left down Brookline Street.

Grades 1 through 6 – "Nashua" Group – 3:00 PM Dismissal – Upper Parish Parking Lot

Children who live in Nashua who do not carpool with a Full Day Pre-K or Kindergarten student will be dismissed in the upper parish parking lot. Children will be walked to the upper parish parking lot by two of our staff members. Students who carpool with Kindergarten students will be dismissed to the back parking lot at 3:00 PM.
