Parent Pick-up & Drop-Off

Parents wishing to drive their child to school between 7:00 a.m. – 7:50 a.m. and/or 2:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. can enter from the North side of Deerfield Beach High School. The gate off Buck Pride Way, near Butler Stadium will open at 7:00 a.m. and/or 2:30 p.m. As a student should never be dropped off in any area used by the B.C.P.S. bus system.

*After 7:50 a.m., arrivals will be re-directed to Front Parking entry point.

When entering the loop, do not stop in the red zone to pick-up or drop-off students. This is not a loading and unloading zone. Stopping here is a major cause of the backups that occur in the loop and on Buck Pride Way. Please do not drop off students outside the gates, as loading or unloading in this area may subject you to a $100 fine. Also the front entrance and student parking lot, off of NE 5th Terrace, are not locations to drop-off or pick-up students.

Traveling from the West

• Turn right (east) on Buck Pride Way, stay in right turn lane

• Turn right (south) after Butler Stadium into first set of school gates

• Turn left (east) at Butler Stadium ticket booth

• Drop your child off at the sidewalk

• Proceed back to Buck Pride Way

• Turn only right (east) onto Buck Pride Way

Slowly exit the lot, being mindful that other parents are delivering their children, and teachers are arriving at school and parking in that back lot

*No student should arrive at the school before 7:00 a.m., as Deerfield Beach High does not offer supervision until 7:00 a.m.

Student Drivers

Those upperclassman who drive to and from school are required to park in the student parking lot; access gates are off Buck Pride Way or NE 5th Terrace which will open at 7:00 a.m. and/or 2:35 p.m. They must park in the student parking lot and may not park on neighborhood streets.

Students who do not follow this rule will be issued a detention, as student parking is a privilege at Deerfield Beach High School. The cost to park in the student lot is $60. Download the Parking Permit Application and submit the form to Security Specialist Mr. Noble. Students must be at least 16 years of age with a valid drivers license.
