Parking Lot Safety

PARENT DROP OFF/ PICK UP ZONE

• After passing the first crosswalk, pull up behind the last car in the drop off/pick up zone where passengers may unload.
• Students need to get out of the car on the BUILDING SIDE onto the sidewalk. If adults are planning to get out of the car, park in the parking lot or on the street and use the crosswalks.
• On the street, wait in line instead of crossing into the other lane to pass cars. Please do not block any crosswalks. 
• U-TURNS are very dangerous and impede the flow of traffic; please do not make U-TURNS. 
• BUS/STAFF parking lot is only for staff parking, which enables the buses to enter and exit in a safe and timely manner. Only park in the lot in front of the school. 
• Please make RIGHT TURNS ONLY when leaving the drop off/pick up zone to increase efficiency and allow all kids to arrive on time.
• The staff and the safety patrol team appreciate all your help in following these protocols. Being patient and considerate of others will help ensure the SAFETY of all staff, students, and visitors.
