Arrival and Dismissal Traffic Reminders
The temporary bridge is open!! I know several of you enjoyed the access last week. Thank you for your help to keep our #PandaFamily safe!
Parking
PreK families may use the upper gravel lot during arrival and dismissal as well as the lower lot beyond the buses.
The upper gravel lot during dismissal is mainly used as overflow to safely reroute carpool families. PreK families parking here, must park in front of a concrete parking bumper. Please do not park around the big tree.
Kindergarten - 4th Grade families park in the gravel lot across from school.
Families should not pull up behind the cafeteria and park.
Traffic Patterns and Signs to Remember
- PES Elementary School road is a two way street; attempting to pass the carpool line creates head on encounters.
- We use a "Zipper" pattern for AM carpool arrival.
- We use a "Two Lane" pattern for PM carpool dismissal.
- Stop sign at McClenahan and West (64)
- To access the upper gravel lot, you must enter through the carpool lane.
If you are an AM carpool family that arrives after 7:40 and are interested in completing a new traffic pilot to improve AM arrival, please fill out this form. We will be in contact with you. Thanks!
Upcoming Tree Removal at PES
This year we have experienced significant drainage and pipe issues at PES. Upon investigation, it was determined that the three large trees close to the building in front of the school are creating this issue. These trees have also begun to lift the sidewalk and if not addressed, will create building foundation issues in the future.
We are looking for suggestions on the new landscaping and options for potential uses of the wood to benefit our school community. Some initial suggestions have been to donate for firewood to families in need and/or to create a piece of furniture or artwork to remain at the school. If you have other ideas or would like to support these efforts please email me.
