Traffic on School Grounds Traffic on School Grounds

As winter is upon and our school grounds become trickier to negotiate with snow and ice. It is important to adhere traffic flow patterns and procedures. Please monitor speed as we have a busy arrival and dismissal times vehicles and pedestrians. The front of the building is designated for buses. When buses are unloading and have their stop signs extended. When dropping off students, please pull up as far as you can on the sidewalks so we can stage several cars and avoid backups. It is also important to have students exit cars on the sidewalk side to avoid traffic. We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the safety of everyone during these times.
