10 Things Your Brain Requires to be Healthy and Ready to Learn
Parking Lot Update
The owners of the building across Judd Street will allow absolutely NO PARKING in their lot! This area may not be used for drop-off or pick-up any longer. They allowed Olson families to use their lot the past couple of years when we needed multiple student entrances/exits and had to close the Olson parking lot to accommodate this.
While the horseshoe drive is still the quickest method at arrival and dismissal, we understand that there may be occasions when parents may need to assist their student out of the car and into the building (for example, when the student is carrying a very large instrument or special project).
In an effort to keep traffic flowing in the horseshoe and ensure the safety of our students, we are designating an area for SHORT-TERM (i.e., less than 5 minutes) drop off or pick up parking in the Olson lot. This area is designated by red dots on the first photo below. Parents may pull up in this area briefly to assist their student out of the car. Students exiting vehicles in this drop-off area MUST stay to the left of the yellow line and walk next to the building to the main entrance. This area is to be used only when absolutely necessary, and we ask that at all other times, parents continue to follow the flow of traffic through the horseshoe drive in front of the school. Please do not drop off on Judd Street. Cars that are exiting the horseshoe cannot always see students and it becomes a safety hazard.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work together to make the arrival to and departure from school a smooth and safe transition for all our students.
