Top 10 Parking Tips for Laity View Traffic

1. ARRIVE ON TIME All students should be dropped off between 8:15 and 8:25am. The first bell rings at 8:25 and students should be at their classroom door. All students must be picked up between 2:20 and 2:35. We do not have babysitting available beyond these times. When you are late, this creates anxiety, confusion and disruption for everyone concerned, especially and most important our children
2. BE PREPARED -Children in elementary school should be able to buckle up and out on their own, open and close car doors on their own, and carry their own bags. Practice these skills at home in the driveway. A child’s self-confidence grows when we teach him/her the tools to be successful.
3. STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE
4. KEEP IT SAFE AND QUICK All families are busy, all families want to be on time. Please pull away as quickly as possible. We are trying to keep the traffic safe, moving and efficient.
5. YELLOW CURBS There is a reason that the curbs are painted yellow. There is NO PARKING along the yellow curbs
6. KEEP PULLING FORWARD  All students know how to get to their classrooms on their own. They all do it on their own several times a day. When you stop to let your child out at a door or at the curb stay alert, and pull up when safe as far as possible.
7. YOU ARE SPECIAL So is everyone else. Traffic rules apply to all of our special families. Please don’t make decisions that may work for you but inconvenience everyone else.
8. CHILDREN MUST BE WAITING OUT FRONT we do not have the staff capacity to page students.
9. USE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY Driver’s side doors should NOT be used in the drop off zone.
10. DO NOT BLOCK OR EVEN PARTIALLY BLOCK the driveways of any of our neighbours – not even for a few minutes!
