CAR RIDER DISMISSAL TRAFFIC PATTERN CHANGE
Please be aware that starting Monday, March 1, we will implement a new traffic pattern for car rider dismissal. Parents picking up in the car rider line will need to use the middle driveway to queue in to the line for car riders. The line will be double stacked all the way around the Insperity driveway. It is possible the line will bleed out on to Madera Run Eastbound for a short period of time until the line starts moving. If the line is backed out on to Madera Run, we ask that you do not make a left hand turn from Madera Run Westbound.
Thank you for your assistance while we make this change to make the car rider line more efficient while remaining safe for our students and staff.
CAR RIDER DISMISSAL TIME
Currently car rider dismissal starts at 3:10pm and ends PROMPTLY at 3:35pm. Please arrive accordingly for pick up.
A friendly reminder to not get out of your car during dismissal. If your child needs to be buckled, we ask that you pull into the parking lot.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL
We need your help with arrival and dismissal.
Traffic flow and safety can be improved if you plan to only make a right hand turn out of Groves.
We have received complaints from the neighborhood on individuals parking/stopping on Boundary Waters Lane to drop off / pick up students. Please do not use this as a drop/pick up zone as it has become an issue of safety with the number vehicles on the street.
All traffic needs to proceed with awareness and caution through the school zone. Please obey speed limits and watch for the crossing guards and children on Madera Run.
Everyone appreciates the cooperation to ensure a safer arrival and dismissal.
Thank you.
