IMPORTANT INFORMATION regarding the pick up and drop off of students

As the days grow darker, ensuring the safety of our students during pick-up times becomes even more crucial. We kindly request your cooperation in adhering to the following guidelines:
 
  • Off-Peak Pickups: Whenever possible, try to schedule student pickups during off-peak times (3:15pm to 3:30pm) to reduce traffic congestion and enhance overall safety. If you must pick up during peak busy times (2:55pm to 3:10pm), we would ask that we all exercise patience and adhere to road safety guidelines.
 
  • Visibility Matters: As daylight decreases, visibility becomes a key concern. Please ensure your vehicle is well lit in the parking lot.
 
  • Carpooling Encouraged: Carpooling not only minimizes traffic but also promotes a safer environment. Coordinate with fellow parents to share responsibilities and reduce the number of vehicles during peak hours.
 
  • Pedestrian Caution: Remind your children to be cautious when crossing streets and to always use designated crosswalks. Encourage them to wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight if they'll be walking during darker hours.
 
  • Drop-Off and Pick-Up Zones: Follow the school's designated drop-off and pick-up zones to maintain a smooth flow of traffic. Avoid stopping in no-parking zones, as this can impede traffic and jeopardize safety. For the safety of all, we are requesting that Palmer families not park in staff designated parking stalls.
 
 
By collectively prioritizing road safety, we can create a safe environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to the well-being of our students and our school community.
