Friendly Reminders About Traffic Policies Please remember that our students safety is top priority! In an effort to keep everyone safe during the drop-off and pick-up times, we want to give you a few friendly reminders. Please slow down on Kieth Harrow and watch for traffic and pedestrians. Please refrain from cutting through parking lots to get to the school. (We have received complaints regarding this.) When entering the school campus, remember that K-2 nd grade traffic moves to the back drop off using the outside traffic lane and 3 rd -5 th use the drop off zone in front of the gym. This is the same process for pick-up in the afternoon. When driving in the parking lot, please practice safe driving by not exceeding a 15 mph speed limit and NO CELL PHONE. It s important to concentrate on your surroundings. Important reminder loitering is not allowed on campus. No vehicles should line up for pick-up before 2:30 p.m. Any vehicle in line before this time will be asked to move. Please remember to always be courteous! Thank you for being involved parents and working with us to make sure our students are safe!
