HANGES TO OUR PARKING LOT

or a while now, you've read about our parking lot traffic issues in the Gatoraid. In an effort to move the traffic through the lotster, while maintaing the safety of our students, our parking lot will be repainted and re-signed over the summer. When schoo

egins in August, you will notice that the curb will be marked for drop-off and pick-up only - this is much like the airport, wherears keep moving through. Drivers may not park cars at the curb. The curbside will be marked with signs instructing drivers they must pull all the way forward and that they may not stop or park. In addition, we will have a "drive through" lane that drive

an use when pulling out of the curbside lane (again, similar to the curbside at the airport). Finally, you'll notice the asphalt wilarked with arrows and words like, "drop-off/pick-up" or "drive through". Please contact me if you would be willing to help direaffic for the first weeks of school, until we see that drivers are able to follow the new procedure. Thank you in advance for youssistance and cooperation - this is hugely important for the safety of our students.
