New Traffic Cones at Hillside Entrance

Last week, LCPS Safety and Security Department conducted a traffic study for Hillside arrival and dismissal and provided recommendations for improving traffic flow and increasing student safety. Part of the recommendations included keeping cars single file as they enter and exit the car rider line on campus. To assist with traffic management on campus, cones have been added to the entrance of the school between Ellzey Drive and the crosswalk.

Safe Arrival and Dismissal Reminders:

Cars are prohibited in the main driveway during arrival and dismissal. The main driveway is reserved for buses and daycare vans.
Car riders should exit their vehicles at the gym curb on the passenger side of the car.
Cars should never pass other cars in the car rider line.
Drivers should remain in their cars with cell phones off while in the car rider line.
Walkers should enter the campus at the crosswalk at Ellzey and Lefevre Inn Drive via the community trail/tunnel on the Claiborne Parkway side of campus.
Walkers should never cross over the hill in front of the school.

As always, the safety and security of all Hillside children is our highest priority. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and patience.
