NEW TRAFFIC RULES
Traffic Rules for AM and PM Car Rider line
Due to safety concerns the following rules have been put in place.
1. You will not be allowed to turn left into our car rider drop off and pick up.
2. Do not park in the church parking lot and drop students off or get out to pick students up. You must get in line.
3. Car riders are NOT to be dropped off on Claiborne Dr. This is a bus exit.
4.When leaving our car lane, you must turn right onto Farmington. You will not be able to turn left. This causes a traffic back up.
5. When pulling into car line, please do not jump in line, This messes with the flow and some parents have been waiting in line for a white. We all have places to go. Please be courteous.
