Orchard Hills Elementary issued an undated notice on its website regarding safety during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times. The school noted that these times can become quite busy and emphasized that student safety is a top priority.
The school highlighted the use of two designated drop-off and pick-up areas. While many families use the area in front of the school, a larger area exists just east of the building to help ease congestion.
To assist with the process, all doors near both drop-off areas are open in the mornings to allow students to enter the building safely from either location. Additionally, the school requested that drivers pull all the way forward in the drop-off lanes to keep lines moving and reduce wait times. Staff and adult supervisors are stationed outside to assist students and ensure they reach their classrooms safely.
The school expressed appreciation for the community's patience and support in maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for students.
