Good Evening,
I sent out this post in December and I know that in the winter months we have more car riders than usual especially with the snow. We are having some difficulties getting all the cars through in an efficient manner. Please read below if you drop off in a.m.
I just wanted to remind families about our drop off procedures in the mornings. Recently, we have had an increase in the amount of cars dropping off and in order to make this an efficient process we encourage families to do the following:
* When dropping off, utilize the two row system. We have a crossing guard on duty from 8:30-8:55 a.m and she is there to be sure the students proceed safely along the crosswalk.
* Your child can get out of the car even if you are 2-3 cars back on either side and walk down the yellow line to the crossing guard and then proceed onto the white crosswalk. This will help with exiting and moving the cars along.
* If you would like to walk your child to the door, you must park in the lot and walk up to the crossing guard and utilize the crosswalk.
If parents stay in the car when driving through and allow students to open the door it makes the process go much more smoothly. We really need your help with this.
* Lastly, any preparation you can do ahead of time to ensure that your child can exit the car efficiently will help move things along.
* As always, if you are finding that it is taking longer than usual (rainy day, project day, snowy day) please make arrangements to leave a few minutes earlier.
As always when the buses arrive we do our best to hold up the car riders to let the students get off the buses. No cars are allowed to pass a bus or are allowed to go around it when the lights are flashing or the students are exiting the buses. An administrator is on duty outside to help facilitate this daily.
Thank you all for helping to make his process work more smoothly,
Mrs. King
