Traffic Flow Reminders–

To ensure safety and efficiency, please review the following traffic procedures:

Morning Drop-Off:

All cars may use the loop, but only the left and middle lanes should be used for drop-off.

Pull up to the painted line; only the two front cars should unload at a time, then move forward for the next cars.

Students must exit on the crosswalk side—no walking between cars.

Handicapped lane (curb/right lane) is reserved for the bus—please don’t block it.

Do not drop off students in the staff parking lot.

Afternoon Pick-Up:

From 2:15–2:40, the loop is reserved for daycare vans and the handicap bus only.

Do not park in the yellow fire lane on the east side of the building.

Parents should use nearby streets for pick-up; crossing guards will assist students safely.

Students should use sidewalks and crosswalks—not walk through the staff parking lot. Please model safe habits by using sidewalks too.
