As crews work to complete the driveway for New Smith off Livernois, we ask that all Boulan Park and Smith families enter the parking lots for both schools from Donaldson Dr., using the driveways and parking lots detailed in the map above.

Boulan Park Families: Please use the parking lot in front of Old Smith/temporary Boulan Park MS for all school business, including student drop-off and pick-up.

Smith Families: Student drop-off and pick-up will take place on the east side of the building, which can be accessed using the last driveway on the right side of Donaldson Dr. To visit the Smith Main Office, drop off students after 8:20 a.m. or pick up students before 2:45 p.m., use the first driveway on the right side of Donaldson Dr., then drive around the back of Old Smith, and continue into the main parking lot for New Smith.


We anticipate that the new driveway will be completed by the end of September. We appreciate the cooperation and patience of all our Boulan Park and Smith families as we start the school year in our new spaces.
