Traffic Safety

With over 460 students arriving and departing from school daily, it is important that students, parents and staff remember the following guidelines in order to ensure the safety of all students.

Scooter & Bicycle Guidelines 

• Scooters, bicycles, skateboard and inline skates are not to be ridden on school grounds at anytime during school hours (7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.). 
• At school during the day, scooters, skateboards and bicycles must remain outside the classroom neatly, or in the designated bike racks not blocking sidewalks or doors.

Parking and Traffic Flow Guidelines 

• Traffic cones are normally set up in front of the two parking bays to form chutes. Enter either of the chutes as you come in the parking lot, and drive as far forward as possible. Exit at the end of each chute, merging carefully into through traffic.
• Use the drop-off / pick-up bays for very short stays. This means you should remain in your vehicle and your child can safely embark / disembark from the curbside door. Don't leave your vehicle as you may block others from exiting the chute.
• Use the parking lot for longer stays. This is for those who are going to get out of the car and come to the classroom door to meet their child, or who have an appointment in the school. 
• Use the crosswalk from the parking lot to the front entry to cross the “flow through” lane. Take the few extra steps down to the corner where the crosswalk is. It is very dangerous to have kids or adults come out from between parked cars into a lane when traffic is moving. This is exactly like the road rules for pedestrians.
• Please, if you are coming to pick up your child, go to the classroom door instead of coming in the front entry. The reason for this is to minimize the disruption at the school office where it is very busy during these peak times.
