  8. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Reminders – In the morning and after school, as you find parking in the neighbourhood and walk to drop-off/pick-up your child, please remember to be mindful of our neighbours when you park your car in the neighbourhood.  We are receiving calls from neighbours when driveways are partially blocked by parked cars.  We realize parking is at a premium; however, please exercise caution and a conservative sense of judgment when driving and looking for spots to park your vehicles. We do appreciate that this creates some inconvenience but ask for everyone to drive and park safely.  We continue to work with the district and the city for options regarding our before and after school traffic congestion. 

Sincerely,

Mrs. Lawrance
