El Dorado Hills Campus
Your El Dorado Hills campus is committed to a safe and efficient drop off and pick up for your scholar. Please take some time to determine what color line you are following and learn more using the maps and videos below.
Additionally, we are always looking for volunteers to help with driveline. The more help we get, the more effeciently we can run our process. Gain some volunteer hours and join campus safety for arrival and departure times! Email edhinfo@johnadamsacademy.org to get signed up.
When on campus, please abide by established traffic flow patterns when dropping off or picking up Scholars at John Adams Academy. This helps keep our children and community safe.
Our windshield sheets are used for campus safety to alert scholars that you are in line. Please have this template printed and in your front window on the first day of school. Your family number can be found in Aeries or by contacting edhinfo@johnadamsacademy.org.

When picking up Secondary Scholars: Please use business park entrance #3 and proceed straight to the Red Line entrance. Bypass the elementary BLUE line. We reserve business park entrance #4 for employees and scholar drivers.
Middle School M-Th: Red Line families enter at the northwest entrance of 1102. Please make two lanes before merging into one at the turn for the pick up area. Please pull all the way forward before loading your scholar. If you are NOT picking up in elementary (BLUE line), please exit the 1102 parking lot by turning LEFT.
MS + Elem M-Th: After picking up your MS'er, you will exit the 1102 lot by turning RIGHT. Just before you make the turn, an employee will enter your "driveline number" into this system. This will notify the teachers of your elementary scholars to release your remaining scholars. You may then turn right and merge with the BLUE line at the next intersection.
High School M-F: Enter the Red Zone at the northwest entrance of 1102. Form two lines before merging into one at the last turn before the pick up area. Do not enter the Red Line before the MS line has cleared (approx. 3:15).
FRIDAY Pick UP: On Fridays & Minimum Days, elementary scholars are released at 12:05pm and all secondary scholars are released at 1:00pm. Please pick up elementary scholars following the BLUE line instructions before making your way to RED line.
Only scholar drivers and walkers are permitted to leave through the front doors. Scholars who leave the driveline area to meet a car in another area will receive disciplinary consequences.

Dropping off in the morning M-F: After coming to the stop sign on Robert J. Mathews (RJM) and Investment Blvd. Follow RJM through and come to the next 4 way stop. Follow RJM down until you reach the southwest entrance to the 1102 parking lot. This is the high school and middle school building. Follow the arrows and circle around to the northeast entrance of 1102. You will follow the road right towards 1104. Drop off has 2 options to choose until 8:13am. Please use the least congested option. If arriving after 8:15am, your scholar will be considered tardy. Please sign them in at the front office.
Picking up in afternoon M-F: We will be waiting at the stop sign located at the 4 way stop of Investment BLVD and RJM. We are planning to release cars at approximately 2:15pm Monday-Thursday & approximately 11:50pm on Fridays to enter the school Driveline. (Waiting at the stop sign will not be necessary for AM drop off.) Remember: Do not block fire hydrants, red zones and business entrances. If stopped and waiting, please pull to the far right of the road, to allow other traffic to proceed.
When released for pick up at the stop sign of Investment Blvd and RJM, (NO release necessary for drop off) we will be stacked up on our property for the remainder of the time before school is out. This is to utilize as much of our property as possible, and get traffic off of public streets. When released for Elementary, you will follow RJM to the southwest most entrance of our 1102 property. After taking the left you will divide into two lanes. You will remain in two lanes until you reach the 4 way stop at the northeast edge of our 1102 property. Somewhere along this line you will have your numbers entered and be diverted back into 1 lane. From here, follow the directions to the Loading/Unloading area. (Please refer to maps)
We stop entering numbers at 3:15pm M-Th and 12:35pm Friday. After this time, all remaining scholars will come to the driveline and wait, regardless if you have arrived yet.
TK/K lane for Pick-up: If you have a TK/K scholar being picked up in the blue zone, it will be because it's PM TK/K or because it's Friday and AM/PM all use the Blue Lane. The loading zone for TK/K and/or carpools and families will be along the East side of the building. One entering the 1104 property for pick-up, you will split into two lanes. Stay to the right lane and this will flow into the east side of the building. If you have carpools and/or other family members being picked up as well, you will have to let them know to wait in this area with the TK/K scholar. This is a special pick up area designated to have a higher staff to scholar ratio as well as less scholar population for a safer waiting zone.
NOTE: If you are picking up High School after elementary : You will take the left onto 1102 property, then follow ‘Red Zone’ instructions.
