Pick-Up Planning
We need your help! Our dream is for students to arrive at school safe and sound and that each family member begins the day with optimism and a sense of confidence. That is at risk if drivers are rushing and creating unsafe conditions in our parking lot.
PLEASE DO NOT:
- park and leave your car in the drive through lane
- allow your children to exit/enter your car across a lane of traffic
- stop at the yellow line (NO PARKING ZONE) as you enter the parking lot to drop off or pick up your child
WE ASK THAT YOU:
- drive to 5 - and walk the rest of the way; many children grades 2 and up can safely use the cross walk independently
- consider parking NORTH of the traffic lights on Lochside, use the crosswalk, and then return to your car
- allow extra time in the morning so you are not pressured and in a rush; consider arriving by 8:25 in the morning
- stay with your car at all times when in the drive-through and drop-off lanes - kids should be ready with their backpacks to say a quick good-bye
- pull forward as far as you can - don't simply stop at the front entrance doors
