New Pick Up Procedure Started November 1
In coming up with this plan for revising our pick-up process, we've considered many factors, talked with several safety agencies and listened to many suggestions. Our plan tries to takes into account 1) the ever-increasing number of parents who pick-up students, 2) the flow of traffic along Sycamore (traffic easily backs up in both directions blocking traffic and buses), 3) our building safety protocols during school hours, 4) land constraints that limit parking, 5) building security, and 6) limited parking and traffic loop space in the front of the building. We are hoping for a positive outcome as we try this new procedure. We hope by allowing parents and caregivers to secure their child by the hand instead of waiting for recognition at the double doors ... pick up will be safer and more efficient.
