Student Safety Reminder: Pick-Up and Drop-Off Procedures
To ensure student safety, we kindly remind families that the front parking lot is closed to all vehicles after 2:30 p.m., except for those with office-approved permission or accommodations. Many students use the front sidewalk to exit the school, and reducing traffic in this area is essential for their safety.
We ask that parents do not park or wait in your car in front of the school for pickup after this time. Please plan alternate arrangements for meeting your child at dismissal. We understand that the lower parking lot can become congested before and after school, so we encourage families to use the parking inlets on Blind Line or park on College Avenue to help ease traffic.
Morning drop-off runs from 8:15 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and is strictly reserved for Kiss and Ride pass holders. Passes are reserved for families with students in Kindergarten or Grade 1, or who have special accommodations. If you need a pass, please contact the office. In addition, we strongly encourage all students to arrive on time to maximize instructional time and minimize late sign-ins at the office.
Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and organized environment for all students. Thank you for your support and understanding!
