Husky Headlines - Arrive & Dismiss

There was a BIG change a little while ago with the opening of Rupple Road and with the addition of a turning lane in front of the school. In meetings with the city roads and traffic flow team, safety has been our number one concern.

There are two areas of note this year:

• The first will be in the entrance of the school as we leave one lane open for emergency vehicles.
• The second is that ALL cars on sides streets, especially Morning Mist DR and Clearwood DR, will park facing Rupple and NOT block any driveways. This means that cars will never park on BOTH sides of the street. Please study the picture below on where you will be able to park. We will continue to improve safety and efficiency for our car rider pick up.

• The first car "In Line" will stop at the BLUE STAR in the picture below, which is at the first crosswalk.
• Cars are NOT allowed to park on Rupple unless they are the 3 or 4 cars in the additional right turn lane into the school.
• Never park OVER a crosswalk.
• No student will enter a car on Rupple Rd.
• No student will enter a car in the new turning lane.
• There are no cars allowed in the center turn lane to "Park" and wait to turn into Holt. You must go and get in line where the diagram allows.
• If you are on a side street, Morning Mist DR or Clearwood DR, your car will need to be pointed towards Rupple Rd using only ONE side of the street and never blocking a driveway.

After looking at the picture below, it should be clearer...and you will notice that we wrap around DOWN Morning Mist and NOT on Rupple Rd. That is key for safety.

Special note: This will not change the rainy day pick up process and as always, a staff member will be in the street to help that be safe for us here at Holt. Please READ the section below about Rainy Day Dismissal.

We know this will take time and patience. We thank you all in advance for your understanding, cooperation and grace you give others as we make this change.

Please make sure to look at the pics below :-)

Does your child ride the bus home? If so, you can stop reading this section here :-)

If your child rides their bike home, walks home, or is picked up by car, here's what you need to know on their way home:

• Bike Riders & Walkers - All get home the same way. After the buses leave, we walk them to the corner and they either ride their bike home or walk home in the rain by themselves. If they have an umbrella, that would be nice to keep themselves a little bit dry. No promise on having dry shoes :-)
• Car Rider - All cars will lineup the exact same way they would on a regular day. Once the buses leave the bus loop, an administrator will tell the first car in line to come around to the bus loop and everyone will follow the trail to the back without cutting. When you enter the bus loop in the back, simply rolled on your window and tell the administrator the name of your child, and the admin will call for them to meet you at the back door. When you exit you can take a left or right out of the backside of the bus loop. That's it!

The dismissal will take approximately 5-10 minutes longer for those in the back of the line. Thank you for your patience and for following these procedures.

School Doors open at 7:10am everyday! We are the FIRST school open in the mornings everyday.

Solution?

Please be in the line out front OR back before 7:30am everyday. Yes, you may enter the building in the back bus loading area AFTER 7:22am everyday.

Please make changes to be on time and in line NO LATER than 7:30am each day.

Again, I appreciate you in making these changes...it does help your child to succeed and start the day off in a positive manner.
