SAFETY REMINDERS

Thank you everyone for keeping our school zones safe these past 2 weeks when driving students to/from school. Some quick reminders:

  • Slow down - Stick to posted speed limits in active school zones.

  • Put the phone away - Keep your eyes on the road and watch for pedestrians and bicyclists.

  • Pull up to the end of the driveway - Always follow staff instructions when in the drop-off zone. Move forward if the vehicles ahead have left the line.

  • Respect parking zones - Do not park in the red zones, double park, or block the Kindergarten and neighbors’ driveways. You may not leave your car unattended at the drop-off zone at any time.

  • Park on the street - If you must get off to pick up your student.

  • Plan extra time - Expect increased morning and afternoon traffic around schools.

  • If your student uses a pick-up service - Please kindly relay the above information to the drivers.
