Winter Conditions

With the recent snowfall, the slippery road conditions have given us pause to consider the need to address safety concerns that relate to the drop off and pick up of our M.V. Beattie kids.  The photos below are not meant to do anything other than frame the issue.  Each morning we have dozens of families who drop off their children, and because everyone is trying to ensure that their children are here on time, the traffic can be quite dense.  Over the past few months, the “Kiss and Go” lane has turned into a parking lot.  This is problematic as it takes away sight lines and narrows the area for moving traffic.  Even with a marked area for students to cross the roads, there is potential for them to be somewhat “invisible” to drivers; therefore, we are asking for your support.  Please make sure that you only take a moment to drop off your children, before continuing to move on.  If you need to come in to visit one of our staff, please take a parking stall in our lot – there are usually at least a dozen spaces available.  Our staff will also do our best to gently remind people to move along, safely.  As always, our commitment is to do all that we can to provide a safe school environment.  Your help is appreciated!
