Attention, attention! If you have students who attend Blackford Intermediate School, please be aware:
Drop-Off and Pick-Up Traffic Changes
Over the next few weeks, BIS will have some temporary changes to our drop-off and pick-up procedures. A construction crew will be working on Conger Street and will be closing the intersections at Indiana Street (west entrance) and Werber Street (east entrance).
Phase 1 – Indiana Street Entrance Closed
The first entrance to be closed will be the Indiana Street (west) entrance. This closure is tentatively scheduled to begin Thursday, August 27.
During this phase:
All vehicles will enter and exit through the Werber Street entrance.
Vehicles will follow the designated loop around the parking lot to drop off students.
After dropping off students, vehicles will exit through the Werber Street entrance.
We will maintain this traffic pattern until the construction crew reaches the Werber Street intersection.
Phase 2 – Werber Street Entrance Closed
Once the construction reaches the Werber Street (east) entrance, we will change the traffic pattern.
At that time:
All vehicles will enter through the Indiana Street (west) entrance.
Vehicles will follow the new designated traffic flow through the parking lot.
Vehicles will both enter and exit through the Indiana Street entrance.
Principal Fox is hopeful that these traffic changes will only affect BIS for approximately two weeks.
