Safety First: Check Out These Drop Off Procedures

We’re off and running in the new school year and thanks to parent volunteers who make up the Parent Patrol, we’ve had a smooth drop off process.

As you drop your child off in the morning, we ask you to remember the following:

• No left turn on to Robertson from the parking lot. We know it can be easier to hit the light on Grand Ave., but it really creates congestion in front of the school, which complicates the entire process.
• There is no stopping in front of the school. Even if you just need to run into the office for a minute, please park east of the parking lot exit. The only exception is for drivers with handicap tags. While the handicap spots are blocked off, if you have a handicap tag, show it to one of the volunteers and we’d be happy to move the cones.
• When dropping off your child stopping along the curb in the driveway is the safest place. We want to get as many children out of their parent’s car as quickly and safely as possible. This is achieved when the cars serpentine through the parking lot. And, you don’t have to be at the stairs to let your children out, anywhere along the curb is acceptable.

Again, the Parent Patrol makes this all possible and we’re looking for volunteers to help children out of the cars. We need three volunteers a day to be effective, so please consider giving 25 minutes of your time. We meet at 7:45 a.m. and we’re ready to leave at 8:10. So if you can give a day, a week or even commit longer, please contact Lisa Russell at lisa@scubacreative.com or 277-1368.
