Traffic and SAFETY at Drop-Off & Pick-Up
The safety of our students and families at drop-off and pick-up is our #1 priority.
While it may be frustrating when trying to find a parking or waiting spot and to have to drive around and around numerous times, please try to remember that some amount of waiting and a lot of patience is part of the drop-off and pick-up process.
Safety should never be sacrificed for the sake of saving a few minutes of time.
If you are interested in volunteering to help coordinate or participate in a valet program, please let me know. Also, if you'd like to volunteer to supervise a gate on Vernon, we can open an additional gate on that side of the school. This would very likely alleviate some of the congestion. Again, just let me know!
