Revised Traffic Pattern Starting Wednesday, 8/17/16

Bus and Student Drop-off Information, School Traffic Pattern
We are making a change to the front of the school (Illinois St. side ) traffic pattern:
Buses will now use the south lot and parents parking and walking students in will use the north lot, the lot closest to the playground.

Why change?

• Safety of students:  The buses will be able to line up along the sidewalk; with bus doors at the sidewalk, students will exit and enter the bus safely.
• The north lot is bigger and will accommodate more cars in a safer parking  pattern.

How does this affect the traffic pattern?  Significant changes….please read carefully.

Park and Walk-in Families

• Morning and Afternoon:  Parents parking and walking students in will access and exit the north lot via Illinois Street, using the north entrance.

Stop and Drop Families:  GYM LOT ONLY
Morning and Afternoon

• Parents dropping students off and picking up at day’s end in the gym lot:  we prefer you use Minnie Street to Betty, or Minnie St. to Monroe to Ina.  The south entrance to the Illinois Street parking area will be clogged at times with buses with buses entering and then leaving after dropping off students.
• After dropping your student off or picking your student up, please leave via Betty St. to Minnie or Ina to Monroe to Minnie. You won’t be able to exit onto Illinois as the buses will be in that lot.  From 7:15am—7:45am and from 2:20pm—2:45pm, the section of Monroe St. connecting to the front lots will be closed.

Students and Faculty
Morning and Afternoon:  7:15am—7:45am and 2:20pm—2:45pm

• Students and faculty; we prefer you avoid the Illinois Street entrance.   Use Minnie Street to Betty, or Minnie St. to Monroe to Ina.  The south entrance to the Illinois Street parking area will be clogged at times with buses.
