Drop Off, Pick Up + Parking
Drop-Off + Pick-Up
VisArts uses a car drop-off and pick-up system to get kids to and from camp safely and quickly.
We will only use our back gate for drop-off and pick-up. If you arrive outside the times listed below, please use the front door, as the back gate will be locked. All students should be picked up promptly at the end of class. If they are enrolled in our extended day program, students must be picked up by 5:30pm at the front entrance.
- Morning Drop-off: 8:30 – 9:05am
- Morning Pick-up: 12 – 12:15pm
- Afternoon Drop-off: 12:30pm – 1:05pm
- Afternoon Pick-up: 4 – 4:15pm
- Extended Day Pick-up at Front Entrance only: 4:15 – 5:30pm
We will give you a paper slip with your students’ information on Monday morning that you can display on your dashboard or bring with you. Each person that picks up their student MUST have this paper slip or a photograph of this slip on their phone.
If you have general questions call the front desk at 804-353-0094.
If you feel you need to drop off or pick up your child in-person, email VisArts’ education team at [email protected].
Car line Directions
We will utilize a car line for drop-off and pick-up which will begin in the Dogwood Middle School parking lot to minimize traffic for our neighbors. Dogwood is located at 1701 Floyd Avenue: please enter through the alley on Vine St., proceed through the parking lot, cross Allen St., and enter the alley to VisArts’ back parking lot. You will exit via Granby St. VisArts’ staff will be there to guide you on Monday.
DIRECTIONS for students walking to camp
If you would like your student to walk home on their own, please email us at [email protected] or tell us at drop-off on Monday. Walkers must check in and out with a staff member at our back gate, but they are allowed to enter and leave the building on their own. If you would like to walk up to pick them up, please walk to the back gate and bring your car tag with you. You must have your car tag as a form of identification.
Teen Pick-up + Drop-off
Teens may enter and exit the building on their own in the front of the building. Please do not use the car line.
Parking
VisArts has two parking lots on its property. A small, asphalt parking lot is located at the corner of W Main Street and N Allen Avenue. This is where our handicapped parking spaces are located. A gravel parking lot is located behind the building, but will be blocked by the car line. Please plan accordingly. There is plenty of one-hour parking around the vicinity if you would like to walk up to the back gate to get your student.
