Traffic Safety

​Incidents with cars are still a leading cause of death and serious injury for school-age children, whether they’re walking, riding their bikes or being driven. Surprisingly, recent studies indicate that as many as two-thirds of drivers speed in school zones. You as the parent have the ultimate and primary responsible to ensure that your child(ren) is/are dropped off and picked up in a safe manner.

TO ENSURE SAFETY WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• Drive up to the very front of the drop off line – more cars are lining up behind you

• Students should be dropped off/picked up in the cul de sac.  This is the “kiss and drop” zone.

• Students should be prepared with their backpack and lunch to hop out of the car in a safe and quick manner (backpacks and lunches should not be in the trunk).

• Parents should remain in the car at all times.

• Please pull as far forward as possible and let your child(ren) out at the curb.

• Your car should be parallel to the curb and the tail end should not be sticking out.

• Students must get out on the curb side of the car.

• Please do not double park and have children run between cars.

• When walking to the pick up area, please use the sidewalks and crosswalks.

• Upper grade students can be picked up at a later time. The upper yard is open until 6pm.

• Verbal abuse of traffic volunteers will not be tolerated. Remember, as a parent you are a role model for your child(ren).

REMEMBER:
