Our parking lot is a very busy place during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. Like you, our primary goal is to keep everyone as safe as possible.
The photo below gives a visual reference for the way traffic is to move within the parking lot.
All families choosing to drive their child(ren) to and/or from school must use the front yard of the school for pick-up/drop-off. We ask that all families take extra care while maneuvering through the area.
In the morning, families have the option to park within our lot (in a parking space) or to park along Pitt St. Please use the new sidewalk in order to walk your child(ren) to the Pick-up/Drop-off Yard.
In the afternoons, students being picked up from school will make their way through the school to the front Pick-up/Drop-off Yard and wait for their ride (this includes those students coming from the portables). Families will again have the option to either park within our lot or to park along Pitt St. We will always insist that parents come to the gate to pick up their child(ren) from the yard. Students will not be permitted to exit the yard without an adult by their side.
Please note: a number of spots along the sidewalk are reserved for School Board Special Transportation Vehicles during pick-up and drop-off times. The remaining spots along the sidewalk are available to use as “10 minute parking” spots. Signage is posted by the applicable spots.
We hope this description assists all families to visualize how our parking lot and student pick-up and drop-off system will work. By working together, we can make this a safe and successful school year.
