Yes, NW corner of Connecticut and Van Ness is in the allowed zone. It is actually much easier to do this then to drive through the drop off line. In the afternoon, you don't need to be part of a carpool to drive through the line.

Burke is forced into some transportation arrangements by an agreement with the immediate neighborhood.

There is a zone into which you may not drop off or pick up a child, unless you register as a carpool. Most families who do not carpool use one of several options: drop off at a corner in the allowed zone (a block or so away), or drop off for the Burke shuttle at Pierce Mill, near the school. Several, I think, shuttle runs come through in the morning from there to the school.

After 8:30 am and after school, anyone can drive through the pick up line.

When my son was in sixth grade, for a few months, I'd park in the "allowed" zone and walk him to the school building. When I and he became confident, I began to drop him at the corner of Connecticut and Van Ness. This has worked just fine for a number of years now. He's in high school.

Sorry...New Burke Family

Hey Burke Family here and wondering about the dropoff/pickup logistics. Can we really not drive our kids there in the morning unless you are car pooling?
