Parking Lot Safety<\/span><\/h3>\n

A reminder that both of our lots are for staff parking only.\u00a0 All visitors need to find parking on the side streets by the school.<\/p>\n

It has also been observed that vehicles are entering our front lot at too fast of a speed.\u00a0 We want to ensure that all of our students and staff remain safe, so please slow down to 10 km\/hr when you are driving through our lot.\u00a0 If you are running late a few more seconds of being late will not make a difference, it will though however prevent an accident from occurring.\u00a0 We know that the front lot is a busy place at drop off but if all drivers abide by the drop off procedure that has been established the drop of will be safe and will run smoothly.\u00a0 Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.<\/p>\n
