Directions & Parking

Please help keep the students of Sycamore Canyon School safe & be considerate of our neighbors

by following the Parking Lot Rules. 

1. VIA RIO PARKING LOT is for “DROPPING OFF” & “PICKING UP” KINDERGARTEN children, “DROPPING OFF” and “PICKING UP” MIDDLE SCHOOL children, and AFTER SCHOOL VANS only. Rear View Mirror Tags will ID K cars (green tag) & MS cars (red tag). Kindergarten parents are invited to pull up to the curb & wait next to their cars after school so that children can be escorted/watched getting into their cars.  Waiting in a yellow zone should be brief – it is for loading & unloading only - stopping NOT ALLOWED. PM Kindergarten children can be picked up at 2:40.  Middle School pick-up does not begin until 3:10 p.m. in the Via Rio loop.  Once again, there is no stopping – loading and unloading only.  You will be asked to move on through the loop if your child is not outside waiting for you when you arrive. 
2. DEL PRADO LOOP is to be used for DROP OFF by car and pick up by car of 1^ST  – 5^th grade children.  Once again, loading & unloading only – no stopping.
3. There is NO DOUBLE PARKING ALLOWED.
4. Parents wishing to conference with teachers are invited to PARK in the empty parking spaces in the side parking lot along Calle del Prado or front parking lot on Via Rio in the designated visitor spots or on the street. As you know, our staff numbers have increased every year.  With construction removing some of our spots this year, the Via Rio parking lot will not accommodate all the staff members. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
5. Students that walk home or ride bikes use the GATE by child care on the Via Rio side of the campus. Bike riding is at your own risk; student must be 3^rd grade up, MUST wear helmets and MUST lock bikes in bike racks.
6. Please see MAP on reverse for TRAFFIC GUIDELINES created by the City, Conejo Valley School District Office and Sycamore School Site Council.  The path is right-hand turns only.  It may have you drive a little out of your way, but it should create a smoother drop off & pick up system with everyone following the same path.  The other key to success is for Middle School parents to wait until 3:10 before coming to school.
7. Once again, it will be important for parents to remind their children to use the sidewalks – NOT cut through the parking lot to meet you at your car on Via Rio or Mirabella.
