Parking Lot and Traffic Safety

Traffic Flow During Pickup/Drop Off

  • When picking up or dropping off students, please do NOT stop in the outer lane of the drive way. If you need to stop and wait for your student to get in or out, please pull as far up as possible and stop against the inner curb (school side).
  • We must ask that all families drive safely and carefully while in the school parking lot.

Walking Student Safety

  • Students should NEVER cross Jackson street except at the cross walks where they are protected by traffic signals.
  • Please speak to your students if they walk to ensure they always walk to the cross walks.
