 Traffic and Parking Safety

Please understand that these procedures have been carefully considered and developed with students’ safety as the guiding principle.

            *Use the parking lot for parking only.  This is not a drop-off area and is not marked as such.  Parking lots are not safe for unaccompanied children.

            *To drop off your student, please pull up to the curb.  This area is clearly marked as a drop-off/pick-up lane.  Please follow the white curb as far forward as possible so that we can optimize the available space and allow room for as many vehicles as possible. It is critical that drivers do not park in this loop as it disrupts the flow of traffic and poses a safety concern. 

*Please walk with in the crosswalk whenever walking in the parking lot.  Shortcuts may save a few seconds but are an unnecessary safety risk for our children. 

          *Please do not stop any part of your vehicle in the marked crosswalk area.

            *Unaccompanied children may NOT be left in an unattended vehicle.  This is not legal and must be reported.

To avoid these concerns completely, walking is highly encouraged.  There are many benefits to walking, such as exercise, fresh air and time to chat with your child(ren). J

Bike and Skateboard Riders
