SAFETY FIRST!
Please remember the importance of keeping safety in
mind during the drop off and pick up of our students.
We have parent volunteers at both loops each morning to assist
students getting to school in a safe and timely manner.
There are a number of "best practices" for dropping off
and picking up kids at any school:
1. Learn the procedures:
Everyone dropping off or picking up kids from school has the
responsibility to know the procedures.
Click Here to review these important guidelines that keep our kids safe!
2. Use only designated drop off locations:
Take advantage of our great valet service with
our wonderful parent volunteers at the upper and lower loops.
3. Allow extra time:
Everyone is very busy, but that's no excuse to put our kids' safety at risk.
Leave a few minutes early to allow ample time for drop off and pick up.
Just a few minutes can make a great difference, and help to make the
traffic circulation around our school more efficient for everyone.
4. Be courteous and respectful of neighbors:
Please be sure to never park in front of driveways.
Treat these neighbors in the way you would like to be treated
if you lived across the street from a school!
5. Get involved:
Become a valet!! It's a great way to meet some new
families, greet your classmates and neighbors and get to school early!
