Hixson Traffic Reminders
Please take a moment to read some important reminders regarding traffic procedures during morning arrival and dismissal.
Arrival - S. Elm lot (Main Entrance)
- Please follow the instructions of staff members supervising arrival.
- When pulling into the Elm lot, please come all the way down to the crosswalk near the Main Office entrance. Pull up behind the car in front of you, making sure to close the gaps. Please do not stop in the middle of the driveway to let your student out of the car.
- There will be no supervision or student access to the building prior to 8:05 am. Students should not arrive to school prior to 8:05 am.
- There will be no left turns onto Ambrose Way from the Elm lot.
- There will be no left turns into the Elm lot from Ambrose Way. Instead, keep straight, traveling eastbound on Ambrose Way, and drop off in the circle drive (side of the building facing highway 44). Please do not stop on Ambrose Way to drop off your student. This causes unnecessary back ups on Elm.
- There will be no access to the north side of the building from the Elm lot during arrival.
- Students should exit vehicles quickly so we can keep the line moving and avoid back ups on Ambrose Way.
Arrival - Circle Drive (Student Services Entrance & Cafeteria Entrance; facing hwy 44)
- Please follow instructions of staff members supervising arrival.
- Bus riders will be dropped off in the circle drive.
- Please pull up behind the car in front of you, making sure to close the gaps.
- Students should exit the vehicles quickly so we can keep the line moving quickly.
Dismissal
- Please follow instructions of staff members supervising dismissal.
- Please do not stop in the middle of the Elm lot and wait for your student to come to the car. Keep moving forward, closing the gaps in the line. Your student will find your car in the line. When parents sit in the middle of the Elm lot and refuse to move forward, at our direction, it creates unnecessary back ups and unsafe crossing situations on the lot.
Following our traffic procedures is one way that parents can support Hixson Middle School. We run arrival and dismissal for approximately 1,000 students every day. With your cooperation, we can continue to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Thank you for your support of Hixson Middle School!
