NEW EASTERN HEIGHTS COMINGS AND GOINGS
Parents are urged to allow extra time for dropping off and picking up students, and to use neighboring side streets for temporary parking. Car pooling is recommended if possible.
When dropping students off or picking them up on campus, cars and buses will follow a specific one-way path in and out of the facility to ensure safety and to keep traffic flowing.
Please use patience and allow for hiccups as families navigate the paths in and out of the campus for the first few times.
As always, please be aware of students who are walking and riding their bikes to school and use extreme caution when approaching crosswalks and parking and walking areas in and around the campus.
The maps below illustrate the in/out pattern for car riders, busses and walkers when school

Hello Families,

If your student has a serious medical condition that I need to know about and share with the staff, please call me at 284-6689.
Thank you for your hard work getting ready for the start of the new school year.
