Dear Thunder Eagle Families,
This is a repeat of my message last week, but it is very important so please read regarding what our plan is to assist with traffic flow for pick up and relieving traffic on 120th.
As you know our car pick-up area is very crowded each day. Our staff is doing a great job of keeping students safe and moving cars along as quickly as possible. However, our dismissal line-up traffic is still backing up on 120th. This is presenting a safety issue and we have had some close calls on the county road. Therefore, we would like to try and remedy this situation ASAP and we have a few ideas that will help:
Consider carpooling with neighbors. If we had multiple families that decided to carpool, this could greatly impact the overflow of traffic.
Most of our students have a school bus available to them, please consider having your child ride the bus to and from school.
Along with the two ideas above, we are making a change in our dismissal that will help with the situation. Starting on the week of 11/20, we are dividing our dismissal times into two parts.
- If your car pick up number is 1-200 please arrive from 3:10-3:17
- If your car pick up number is 200+, arrive from 3:18-3:25.
- We will now start opening the gate at 3:00. If your number is in the later group and you arrive with the first wave of cars, we request that you pull into a parking slot and wait until your pick up time. To achieve success with this new plan will require families to stick to the new pick-up schedule.
Again, these steps are necessary to make our dismissal as safe as possible for everyone.
Thank you for partnering with us to make our main road safe!
