Drop off and Pick up Loop:
To ensure safety for our students and staff, in collaboration with the elementary school. We want to reinforce our drop-off and pick-up routines and rules. Please review this information carefully.
Only buses, childcare vans and staff are permitted in the Lakeshire Drive entrance. Please note that this is one-way traffic only.
The Astral Drive entrance is for parents using the drop off and pick up loop.
Please drive slowly in this area. Safety comes first. Maintain two lanes of traffic only. Parents may quickly unbuckle children. Do not park, wait, or leave your car in the loop as it stops traffic flow.
Please drop children off by the curb in one of the designated drop-off spots only. Do not let your child in/out in the middle of the circle.
The traffic circle will be closed during any early dismissal days, due to the road conditions. Please park along Astral Drive if you are picking your child up.
