Dear Johnsview Village
Families,
This
letter is a reminder to all parents who drive their children to school to
please ensure that our drop-off and pick-up rules and routines remain in effect
all year long, including the days when we have inclement weather and all
through the winter months. In our combined efforts to keep all of our children
safe, I am asking that all parents continue to follow our drop-off and pick-up
procedures at our school. These
procedures are as follows:
Street Parking:
· Please park in legal street parking spaces only
· Please do not park on the north side of Porterfield
· Please obey all street signs: No U turns on Porterfield
· Please do
not leave your car running and unattended
· Please do not park in spots reserved for residents of
the Johnsview Village Co-op
Bus Zone
· Cars are
not allowed to be stopped or parked in the bus zone
· Cars are not allowed to pass the school bus when the
school bus lights are flashing
Cross Walk
· Please do
not stop/park in the middle of the crosswalk in front of the school to drop
off/pickup your children. This is our
only entranceway into the school and it must be accessible for all students at
all times.
· All
parents must stop at the stop sign on Porterfield in front of the school before
proceeding into the intersection
Staff Parking Lot
· Parents
are not allowed to use the staff parking lot to drop- off or pick-up children
· Parents cannot turn their vehicles around in the staff
parking lot
In
order to help parents arrive at school on time, cut down on traffic and ensure student safety we suggest the
following:
· Walk to school with your child whenever possible
· Organize the car ahead of time so children can exit
from the passenger side with their belongings
· If someone other than yourself is driving the car,
inform them ahead of time of our procedures
· Please drive
slowly and obey the speed limit signs
· Drop off starts at 8:45 a.m. and supervision begins at
8:45 a.m. Arriving at 8:45 a.m. will alleviate the congestion of looking for a
parking space
· As soon as you drop off your child, move on so that
your parking spot becomes available for the next parent.
We
thank our parents who are regularly following the rules, however we are reminding
ALL parents/drivers again to comply with these rules to keep our students safe
at all times.
