Dear Steeby Families,
We’re excited to share new procedures for student drop-off and pickup at Steeby Elementary, designed to improve safety and ease congestion during these busy times. Please take a moment to review the updated guidelines:
Drivers should enter from the E. Maple Street entrance at the back of Steeby and turn south onto the service drive along the west side of the building.
The line will begin at the yellow gate, which will remain closed until school aides open it to start the pickup and drop-off process.
Once the gate is open, drivers will follow the loop and cones, passing the visitor parking around the outside of the lot and then heading once again through the service drive out to E. Maple Street.
Vehicles will not be permitted to enter the parking lot near Superior Street to join the line.
For everyone’s safety, please remain in your vehicles at all times—do not exit your car to walk students to or from the doors. This will help keep the process moving smoothly and safely.
This change is aimed at reducing traffic backups on E. Maple, eliminating the risk of vehicles moving into oncoming traffic, and creating a safer, more efficient flow of cars during pickup and drop-off.
We appreciate your cooperation as we implement these changes and work to make arrival and dismissal easier for all families. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the school office.
Thank you for helping us keep Steeby Elementary a safe place for our students!
Sincerely,
The Steeby Elementary Administration Team
