Drop-Off/ Pick-Up:

• Parents can drop off/pick up at either the Jackson Street parking lot or Powder House Lane.

  • Recommendation: The Jackson Street parking lot probably would be easiest and most efficient.

  • Pick up and drop off can also happen on Francis Road, Calabrese Street, Broad Street and Dalton Parkway.

  • Crossing guards will be located on Jackson/Highland, Broad/Jackson, and Powderhouse/Highland.

• Please do not block driveways out of courtesy of our neighbors.

• Only buses will be allowed up the Jackson Street entrance; no parent vehicles will be allowed into the Jackson Street entrance.

• All buses will be exiting via Powder House Lane, so if you see a bus trying to exit please move along to make room.

• If you are dropping off your student, please work with your child to be ready to exit the car quickly so that you can move on and help keep the flow of traffic moving.

Thank you for supporting us in this effort to provide a safer Collins Middle School. Please do not hesitate to ask questions.

Next Meeting: May 15 at 6-7PM - Main Office of CMS.
