Fire Lane Reminder for Families
We’ve received a reminder from the Maple Grove Fire Department regarding the marked fire lane on the north side of our building (see photo below). This area is designated for drop-off and pick-up only.
To ensure student safety and maintain emergency access:
- Please do not park or leave your vehicle in the fire lane.
- A fire hydrant is located along this lane and must remain accessible at all times.
- If you need to walk your child into the building, please park in a designated parking space in the lot.
This fire lane designation was established by the city and must be followed.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep our campus safe for everyone.
