The Weekly Update #4
August 18th, 2024
- Walking and biking help students arrive at school alert and ready to learn. Whenever possible, Lakewood City Schools encourages students to walk or bike to school.
- If you drive your child to school, please watch for students walking and biking when entering and exiting school property.
- Please pull all the way up to the drop-off sign and avoid blocking sidewalks or crosswalks while waiting in the car line.
- The doors on Madison AND the main entrance off Woodward are open starting at 8:05 AM for students to enter the building.
- Students who arrive earlier than 8:05 AM should report to the designated area in the gym.
- Please do not park in marked no-parking areas near the school.
- These spaces improve visibility, making it easier for drivers to see students walking and biking.
- Traffic flows smoothly when everyone is courteous and patient. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and efficient process.
- In order to help with traffic and overall safety, there are now 2 designated turn lanes on Hilliard.
- Drivers are not permitted to turn left into the school parking lot from Hilliard between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM. This restriction helps reduce conflicts with students walking and biking to school.
- As a reminder, vehicles will not be permitted to turn into our parking lot from Hilliard between 7:30 AM and 3:30 PM.
- Please also consider turning off your engine while waiting for your child. Reducing vehicle idling improves air quality and creates a healthier environment for everyone at school.
- I have attached pictures below to help make this as clear as possible.
Thank you for helping keep everyone safe here at Harding. Your attention to these guidelines is greatly appreciated!
If your student is able, using active transportation such as walking or biking is a great alternative to tackling the car line and it benefits both your student and the environment!
