Safety Corner
Safety is one of our top priorities at the campus. Please help us keep the entire school community by following our recommended safety tips.
- Tierra Delta is prioritized for our teachers to ensure that they can make it to the campus on time to greet our students.
- Cars exiting the West Parking Lot do not have the right of way. Drivers must yield to oncoming traffic on Tierra Mirage before turning.
- Whistles from the Crossing Guards mean that cars are coming to a stop. Pedestrians should always wait for directions from the Cross Guards for enhanced safety.
- Please do not block crosswalks.
- Students should never be dropped off along Tierra Mirage due to increased and very mobile traffic.
- When dropping off within any parking lot, please pull as far forward as possible to maximize cars within the drop off zones.
- If utilizing an electric scooter or bike, please walk it through crosswalks.
- Always use a turn signal to help Cross Guards identify which direction you intend to go.
- Always use a crosswalk to cross streets. Jaywalking is not only dangerous, but citations can be issued for failing to cross at the appropriate location.
- Please come to a complete stop at all stop signs.
