Pick UP and Drop Off Routines at JVPS

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.

Reminder of New Parking Routines at JVPS

Dear Johnsview Village Families,

In our combined effort to keep our children safe and in being good neighbours with the Johnsview Village Co-op, we are asking for your continued support for the following changes in our drop-off and pick-up procedures at our school.  At the beginning of April, each family received a letter to ensure a safe environment for all of our students.  In that letter we outlined the new parking routines.  So far, the new routines are working very well and we would just like to remind all families who drive of the following routines:

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

Thank you for working with us to keep our students safe.

Bus Loading Zone Routines

Please  be aware that our Bus Loading Zone needs to be free of cars during arrival and dismissal times.

We are respectfully asking that all parents who drive their children to Johnsview Village P.S. adhere to this rule to ensure the safety of all of our students when they are being picked up and dropped off.

The bus loop has a sign that says there is to be no parking in the bus loop.

If a car is blocking the bus,  the children cannot be dismissed from the bus safely.

Please help us to ensure that we keep all of our students safe by complying with the following instructions:

• Do not park in the bus loop in the morning or at dismissal times
• Do not leave your car unattended in the bus loop
• Please park where there is legal street parking

Thank you for your continued co-operation to help keep our students safe at arrival and dismissal times.
