Laurel County Public Schools Center For Innovation

We've had a few questions for student drivers wanting to commute to CFI using their own vehicle. Here's some information for you!

It's almost that time! Our staff is ready to welcome students back for the 12th year here at the Center For Innovation. We're excited to bring the of excellence to Career and Technical Education, and we're ready to have fun while doing it. Let's make it a great school year!

🚗 CFI Traffic Flow & Arrival/Dismissal Guide 🚙

Welcome to the new school year! To keep our students safe and traffic moving smoothly around campus, please review the campus traffic map below before your first commute.

☀️ Morning Drop-Off (AM)

Turn right coming down from 4th Street.

Follow the loop around to the Front Office door to drop off your student.

🌤️ Afternoon Pick-Up (PM)

Turn right coming down from 4th Street and follow the loop past the front entrance.

Continue around to the back/upper side of the building (the pick-up line starts just before the guest/faculty parking lot).

Pick up your student at the designated Student Pick-Up PM spot.

To Exit: Follow the outer loop around the perimeter of the parking lots back to the 4th Street exit.

⚠️ Key Reminders & Traffic Rules

BUSES ONLY: Please do NOT drive down the middle lane toward the bus depot (marked with the red X). All non-bus drop-offs must go through the main loop.

Keep Traffic Moving: In the pick-up line, please pull forward as far as possible and stay attentive to line movement. This keeps cars from backing up onto 4th Street/the highway.

🎟️ Student Drivers

Parking pass paperwork can be picked up at the Front Office during our first week back. Please stick to the designated Student Driver Lots.

We can't wait to see all of our students this week and look forward to a great school year! 📚✨
