RMS Weekly Update
Timberwolf Pack News, August 30
Thank you for your patience as we have tried to problem-solve traffic concerns. After talking with a traffic consultant on this topic, we have three requests that will help speed up the morning drop-off process:
1. If you are driving north on 172nd Street and turning LEFT into the Circle Drive, please stay in the LEFT HAND DROP OFF LANE. This will help keep the traffic flow moving.
2. When you pull into the Circle Drive in the RIGHT HAND DROP OFF LANE, please pull all of the way around the circle to the orange cone.
3. As soon as you enter the DROP OFF ZONE, please have your child exit the car. If 10 cars are unloading at a time on each side of the lane, it will speed things up for everyone.
We have included our Traffic Procedures and map again for your review.
Thank you for working together to ensure that the morning starts off positively for everyone!
Russell Families, I want you to be aware that Millard West had a situation this week. Someone wrote a unsubstantiated threat on a bathroom stall. The matter has been investigated by police. So you are informed, I am including the information sent to the Millard West community.
