Arrival/Dismissal/Parking Lot
Thank you for for a right turn only onto Saal Road out of the lot during arrival and dismissal.
Thank you for only parking in designated parking spots in the front lot only.
Please use the cross walk when walking students from a parking spot. The cross walk is between the two large red cones in front of the busses in the morning and between the first buss and the rest of the busses in the pm. Walking between the busses, even if the driver sees you, is very unsafe for both you and your student (s).
Students are always accompanied by an adult in the lot. This is for your safety and the safety of your children.
Also, it is very important that once the busses are leaving the lot, they are able to pull out quickly. Please do not hold spots for cars, let cars into line ahead of the busses or block busses. Thank you. Your cooperation is seen and appreciated!
Cold Weather is Here!
