PARKING LOT REMINDER

PARKING LOT REMINDER ….

To all new families to Hammond, and a reminder to those families using the parking lot at the end of the day, if everyone follows our procedures and is patient for 10 minutes, things will go smoothly and safely. It is with cooperation, patience, kindness and respect for others and following a few simple guidelines that we can minimize the frustrations and keep the parking lot safe for everyone.

Guidelines:

• • When double parked or stopping beside a yellow curb you MUST stay in your vehicle so you can move it if the person you are blocking needs to exit the lot. Many times we have Staff that need to get to meetings outside of our school.
  • Do not block an open parking space.
  • It is imperative that we leave a clear path through the middle of the lot so traffic can keep moving.
  • If you get to the flagpole and your child has not arrived yet, continue to circle the lot until they do.
  • Do not park at the entrance that funnels traffic into and out of the lot as it blocks traffic flow.
  • Use the perimeter sidewalks to walk to the overflow lot rather than weaving in and out of the cars.
  • Travel through the parking lot at idle speed.
  • Please turn your vehicle off while waiting/parking. We are an idle free zone!
  • Our parking lot is fairly small for the population of our school and during drop off and pick can be quite congested! If you are driving a larger vehicle or towing a trailer, please consider parking on one of the many side streets and walking to the school to pick up your child/children.

Please OBEY all legal street signs around the school including bus stops and municipal issued no parking signs
