[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About 3 weeks into Beauvoir and while my child loves it, I dread going to daily drop-off and pick-up because the traffic seems horrible and parking non-existent.

1. For parents walking their kids into class at 8am, where do they park??

2. Is the carpool line always THIS backed up?

3. Is there easy neighborhood parking available?

I wonder if the other two schools in the Big 3 are this difficult with respect to parking and traffic??[/quote]

Hello OP. Welcome to Beauvoir. Parking and carpool can be tricky at pretty much every school I know (including our neighborhood public, which people complain about). The rain doesn’t help because I don’t know why but the rain just slows everything down in DC and I think in part because kids who may have walked end up getting rides because obviously it’s raining. If you can try to get there a few minutes early you should be able to park I believe on the road going into beauvoir or the road heading back out. Even getting there at 7:45 or eight there are often spots open. If not there you can park on the street right near the entrance or many people park in the garage. Beauvoir is a really friendly place and there is a lot of wealth but there’s also a lot of diversity economically (as well as ethnically and religiously. We were lucky to have very friendly grades where everyone just talked to everyone. Hopefully that vibe is is in your grade and if it’s not maybe you can help set the tone because remember there are other people just like you that would love to meet a friendly face. Best of luck![/quote]
