Keeping School Drop-Off and Pick-Up Safe
Since the installation of new signage and a fence, we have seen improved use of crosswalks. However, traffic continues to be a challenge when vehicles stop in the pick-up lanes after school.
We have two lanes for pick-up:
Curbside lane: Students enter and exit vehicles along the curb.
Through lane: Vehicles drive straight through to keep traffic moving.
Please follow these important safety guidelines:
Never leave your vehicle unattended in either lane.
Do not remain parked in the pick-up lanes. Keep traffic moving so all families can pick up their students safely and efficiently.
If you need to wait more than a few minutes to pick up your children, please park in the parking lot instead of waiting in the lanes.
Please remind students not to play games in the front of the school while waiting to be picked up.
Thank you for helping keep our school community safe and making drop-off and pick-up smoother for everyone!
