• Let’s Be Good Neighbors: Our neighbors on Cherry Hill Street have called to ask that cars DO NOT turn around in driveways. You may think that you are the only one that does this, but many, many cars at pick up time drive down the streets and quickly turn around in driveways. This causes neighbors to worry about the safety of children in the neighborhood and also possible damage to vehicles parked in their driveways. Please avoid turning your car around in neighborhood driveways.
• AM and PM traffic for drop off and pick up: Please be aware of the amount of traffic and required parking during these times. In the morning, parking for staff is at a premium so if at all possible, please drop your child off curbside from 7:50 to 8:10 then at the top of the driveway during bus arrival. At 8:15 after buses are gone, you may again drop students off in the circular driveway in front of the school. Please pull ahead to make room for cars behind you.
In the afternoon, please park safely so cars are not blocking the driveway.
