I'm not sure if other schools do things this way, but as a grandma, it's been awhile since my kids were in school so I may not be as "up" on things.
Valley View Early Learning Center in the York Suburban school district has one of the most efficient student pick up and drop off I've ever seen.
Parents, or Grammys like me, form a line of cars at the door where students are picked up and delivered. Buses go first, and then it's first come, first served. You pull up, sort of like you're orderig a mcburger, give the name of your child, and a teacher's aide goes into the building, gets the child and escorts him or her directly to your car. They even then help to buckle them into their car seats.
No chaos, no near-accidents, no swarm of parents, or grammies all trying to collect their kids all at once. The aides themselves are wonderful, cheerful and efficient. The system is pretty awesome, and is worth noting. This took some thought as well as orchestration. Cheers!!
