Besides the Federal prohibition of guns in schools, many states also prohibit by law guns in schools or school property making parking or pick up or drop off of students a problem if you carry a firearm.
The federal law exempts folks licensed by their state to carry a concealed firearm (among others). Some states (not all) contain the same exemption(s) in their laws.
But yes, there is always the question of whether “school” means the actual building, or the entire campus property — including drop-off/pick-up areas. It’s (legally) safer to assume the latter.

I do something similar, but the name written in is David Codrea.
