ARRIVAL AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Tuesday, April 20, 2021
LET'S STAY SAFE AT ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL!
Although arrival has been getting a bit better each day, a few more reminders are needed to keep our students safe.
*Cars are arriving very early in the drop-off line. Students are not allowed to enter the building until 7:45 am. Please do not arrive prior to this time as there are no staff members on duty.
* When in the drop-off line, pull all the way forward to minimize the back-up on to 174th St.
*Students MUST exit on the passenger side of the vehicle.
*DO NOT PULL AROUND CARS IN THE DROP-OFF LINE AND DO NOT LET STUDENTS WALK IN THE PARKING LOT. I cannot stress this enough, this is for the safety of all of our students!
*Drivers should not allow students to exit their cars on 174th St. All car riders should either be in the drop-off lane or in a safe, designated parking spot.
PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AROUND THE SCHOOL! If there are pedestrians in the crosswalk, cars MUST yield to those who are walking. The Tinley Park Police will be monitoring our arrival and dismissal and they will enforce the rules of the road. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Szczasny
