We understand that the snow banks have made afternoon pickup parking even more of a challenge. However, please keep in mind that there is absolutely no parking along Tiger Drive or in the Staff Parking Lot. Vehicles parked in these areas are blocking buses and special education vans.

Additionally, cars are being parked and left in non-designated spaces in both the Staff and Crowe parking lots.

Overflow parking is available at Fowler School. Please plan accordingly when arriving for pickup.

Beginning next week, the Maynard Police will be onsite to help enforce these parking restrictions.

Kindly follow the posted guidelines to ensure the safety and smooth dismissal of all students. Thank you for your cooperation.
