Dear Parents and Guardians,
Here is an aerial view of the NEW traffic pattern for Parent Drop-Off car riders with specific directions.
NEW for 2023-24: All parent pick-up and drop-off cars will form ONE LANE ONLY to drop off and pick up each day. Thank you for your patience with this process and for your continued cooperation as we maintain the safety of all students and staff.
Parents will continue to enter the designated Parent Drop-Off/Pick-Up area through the rear building parking lot entrance located off of River Drive and form one lane at the side the building. This area will be the loading and unloading zone for students. Cars will form ONE line and will wait until a staff member unloads students in the morning or loads students in the afternoon. Cones will mark these car line areas and we have provided arrows on the map for your assistance. After receiving direction from school staff, students will proceed to/from the loading or unloading area to unload in the morning and load in the afternoon. This has to be a steady flow for unloading and loading. It cannot be a standing zone. For the safety of all students and staff, parents MUST wait until students are unloaded (AM) or loaded (PM) by a supervising staff member.
At the direction of school staff, cars will proceed to exit the campus onto River Drive. School staff will be visible to guide and direct the flow of traffic throughout this process. It is imperative that everyone waits their turn and does not pass other cars.
We need your help with implementing the additional safety support guidelines listed below:
Please do not arrive at the school to unload until 7:15 am or load until 2:00 pm. Students will NOT be dismissed before our official dismissal time of 2:04 pm.
Parents are NOT permitted to drop students or allow students to exit vehicles from anywhere other than the parent drop-off/pick-up lane under the direction of a designated staff member.
Please ensure students are ready to exit the vehicle in the morning once a staff member opens the car door.
Drivers must remain in their vehicles at all times.
Please do not pass other vehicles in line.
Please do not block any designated crosswalks or fire hydrants.
Please place your car tag where it is clearly visible in the front windshield or side window for parent pick up in the afternoon.
If you should have additional safety related comments or concerns, please feel free to contact the school.
Sincerely,
SWE Administration Team
