Pat Camp Lane Update

Posted Date: 03/24/26 (11:03 AM)


GES Families,

Thank you for such a smooth transition to our new car rider lane. The past two days have gone very well, and we have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback from both parents and students. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work together to make this process safer and more efficient for everyone.

As a reminder, please review the informational flyer that was sent home, as it should answer most questions. Pat Camp Lane is open for car riders only during arrival from 7:00–8:15 AM and dismissal from 2:45–4:15 PMGES Main Drive should be used to access campus from 8:15 AM–2:45 PM. The main purpose of the new lane is to move traffic off the highway and provide a safer experience for all.

A few important reminders:

  • Please stay off your phone while in the car line. This is the law and helps keep everyone safe.
  • Please pull all the way forward to help keep the line moving efficiently. Large gaps between cars slow the process for everyone.
  • Please do not arrive early. Early arrivals create unnecessary backup and congestion.
Thank you again for helping us make Pat Camp Lane a success. Working together, we can keep arrival and dismissal safe and smooth for all of our Buckeyes.

Buckeyes RISE!
