We’d like to start by thanking all of our parents and drivers for their cooperation in the morning drop-off routine. Your efforts have kept mornings running smoothly and allowed students to arrive safely and on time, ready for a productive day of learning. However, we’ve noticed a few areas for improvement in the afternoon pick-up times, and we’re reaching out to ask for your continued support.
To make the drop-off and pick-up zone as safe and efficient as possible for everyone, please keep the following key guidelines in mind:
1. Move Forward to the End of the Drop-Off Zone
When entering the drop-off area, we kindly request that all drivers pull forward to the end of the designated drop-off zone before stopping. Advancing to the end ensures that the entire zone is utilised, allowing more vehicles to enter and park safely without blocking the entrance. This practice not only helps prevent congestion but also allows everyone to park and pick up their children efficiently, maintaining a smooth traffic flow and reducing delays for all families.
2. Keep to the Right: A Clear Left Lane for Flow
For everyone’s safety and convenience, all cars should park on the right-hand side of the pick-up and drop-off zone. The left lane must remain clear at all times to allow cars to exit the area freely. A blocked left lane can cause significant delays, so please help us keep this space open and accessible for everyone.
3. Safety on Foot: Use the Sidewalks and Crosswalks
To ensure that all students and parents stay safe, we ask that everyone walks on the sidewalks provided, crossing directly to the steps leading to street level. The traffic zone can be very busy, especially during pick-up times, and walking in designated pedestrian areas prevents any accidents from occurring. Please avoid walking in the car lanes unless using a designated crossing area. This simple step will help maintain a safe environment for everyone, especially our young learners.
4. A Collective Effort for a Safe School Environment
By following these guidelines, you are helping us create a safe and welcoming environment for our entire school community. We understand that pick-up times can be hectic, but we appreciate your attention to these procedures and your role in supporting the smooth functioning of our drop-off and pick-up routines.
Your partnership in this matter is essential to maintaining safety and efficiency. We greatly appreciate your cooperation and patience in ensuring that our drop-off zone serves everyone well. Thank you for your support, and please reach out if you have any questions or suggestions regarding these guidelines. Let’s continue to work together to keep our students and school community safe.
Thank you for your cooperation and support!
