DRIVING SAFETY
 

DO NOT PASS cars on Longhill Drive!  This is not only UNSAFE, it is illegal and you can be ticketed.

Parking Lot: The parking lot is for staff members only.  Parents are encouraged to park their cars on Longhill or Flaming Arrow.  No parking will be allowed along the curb in the parking lot during school hours (8:00am-3:15pm).

Never, even for a moment, park or allow a person picking up your child(ren) to park in teacher/staff spots.  They often return to campus after a meeting unable to park and return to class promptly, because a parent is parked in their spot.

Driveway Safety:  Drivers entering the parking lot must use the “Stop and Drop” procedure during the morning hours.  Pull along the curb into the designated area and drop off children so that they get out of the car directly onto the curb.  No DOUBLE-PARKING! Take care when entering or exiting the driveway, as many children will be using the crosswalks.  Remember that the speed limit is 5 mph in the parking lot.

Please remember that children must enter and exit the passenger side of the car when you are fully parked at the curb and they should exit right onto the curb only, carrying their backpacks.  Students are never allowed in the street during pick up and drop off.  This includes removing their backpacks and instruments from the trunk of the car.  

Please DO NOT stop your vehicle to drop off your child until you have pulled as far forward as possible.  This will help with the flow of traffic and with traffic congestion on the streets.

Pick-ups:  Students are to be picked up in front of the school using the “Stop and Drop” procedure.  Students must be picked up on time!  There is no supervision after 3:05 in front of the school.  Per District directive, we are no longer offering “Sibling Watch” between 2:40-3:00pm.  Students must be picked up at their dismissal time or you can choose to pay for afterschool care using the district’s program, Kids’ Corner. 

NO PARKING in the Kids’ Corner Lot.  This is for Kids’ Corner drop off and pick up only!
