Transportation News

We have included routes and times, however, these may be subject to change as we determine ridership.

Unfortunately, the beginning of school is also a time when children are at increased risk of transportation related injuries from pedestrian, bicycle, school bus, and motor vehicle crashes because there are many more children on the road each morning and afternoon and many drivers’ patterns change. Therefore, as the school year begins, it is time for everyone – motorists, parents, educators, and students – to consider their traffic safety practices. The following tips can help make it a safe and happy school year for the whole community.

Tips for Motorists

Slow down and obey all traffic laws and speed limits.

Always stop for a school bus that has stopped to load or unload students. Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm tell you the school bus is stopped to load or unload students. State law requires you to STOP.

When driving in neighborhoods or school zones, watch for young people who may be in a hurry to get to school and may not be thinking about getting there safely.

Tips for Parents

Help your children learn and practice the safety rules for walking, bicycling, or riding in a passenger car or school bus.

Supervise young children as they are walking or biking to school or as they wait at the school bus stop.

Be a good role model, especially when you are with your kids. Always buckle up in the car, always wear a helmet when biking, and always follow pedestrian safety rules.

Tips for Students

Always buckle up when you are riding in a car.

Always wear a helmet and follow traffic safety rules when riding your bike.

If you ride a school bus, learn and practice the safety rules for waiting at the bus stop, getting on and off the bus, and riding the bus.

If you walk to school, learn and practice the safety rules for pedestrians. Always cross at cross walks and obey all traffic signs.

Be a good role model for your younger brothers and sisters and friends, and help them learn and practice the safety rules.

Drop-Off Lane Guidelines

The parking loop in front of the buildings has been remodeled but will remain functionally the same until the south entrance (Phillips Street) is available for the K-8 students. To keep our students safe and traffic moving during drop-off times, Transportation Director, Paul Ludington, and frequently an administrator will be present. The hope is that this supervision staff will help ease the congestion in the area and make the area a safer place for our parents and students. We appreciate your help in this matter. The following are guidelines to help with this process:

The lane closest to the buildings is for bus traffic only. Bus traffic will remain in this location at all times. Do not park in this lane. This is especially important during bus loading.

Do not park in the bus loop during the day. This will allow for emergency vehicles and alleviate traffic congestion and back up onto Park Avenue.

Vehicles using the drop-off lane need to move forward (North) to allow space for cars entering from the street prior to dropping off students. PLEASE DO NOT STOP AT THE CORNER OF THE LOOP AS THIS CAUSES SEVERE CONGESTION. Due to traffic volume in the drop-off loop, vehicles must pull forward to avoid the hazard of blocking Park Avenue. Please remember that this traffic pattern is for your safety as well as the safety of our children.

*Important: If you would like to walk your child to their classroom, we ask that you please park street-side.
