Morning & Afternoon Traffic Procedures
As we begin the New Year, we would like to remind all of our parents and visitors to campus about a few reminders regarding morning and afternoon traffic:
- Morning and Afternoon Carline- please enter Minuteman Drive and enter campus at the entrance along the tree line.
- All traffic is single file at all times. There are No Passing Zones at all times for the safety of our students and staff.
- During the winter months our safety patrol (student greeters) will not be outside in extreme cold weather so please be patient as we safely unload all students.
- Buses- Please yield to buses in the morning as they enter campus. They are transporting students to other elementary schools and we want to ensure they arrive to campus safely and on time.
- Please do not pass or go around buses if there is a Stop Sign out. This is Alabama Law for the safety of all students.
The safety of all of our students is our Top Priority. We appreciate your patience and cooperation with our traffic procedures
