After School Dismissal Car Riders After School Dismissal Car Riders

I understand that our parent pick up is a mess at times. Please do not park alongside the curb to wait for your student, doing so backs up traffic and does not allow cars to turn in from Stylger. Instead please pull in and loop around forming two lines to pick your student up. I am working with GPD to monitor traffic at dismissal on a consistent basis. I am open to any suggestion you have to improve the process.
