STUDENT DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES
- We will have new cones out to help with flow of traffic.
- If you have students at both Forest View and Forest Lake Elementary, you can pick students up at the Forest View location. You do not need to come through both lines.
- The exit for drop off and pick up time is different and will hopefully help with the congested 5-way stop at the intersection of 4th street and 4th avenue.
- If you have friends, family or neighbors planning to drop off or pick up, please share these procedures with them as they may not be familiar with our school.
- Please refer to map below for updated procedures.
