*PLEASE follow the parking lot procedures to help keep all our children safe at morning arrival. These procedures can be found on Edline under Safety Committee, on page 14 of the Student Handbook, and in the materials you received in your first day packet. They include:

For Linwood parking lot:

Pulling forward as far as possible before dropping off – (no matter what door your child enters)

Making a RIGHT turn only from the drop off lane – DO NOT CHANGE LANES

If parking, using the CROSSWALK only to get to the sidewalk

Making a LEFT turn only from the parking lane – DO NOT CHANGE LANES

For Woodward parking lot:

Absolutely NO drop-offs – You must park

Walk your children to the cones by the door

Any back-ups that occur on Woodward, Twelve Mile Rd., or congestion at Linwood could cause harm to our children and are the result of drivers not following the procedures or parents/children not using the crosswalks. A million thanks to those who are following the procedures. Hopefully, the others will follow your lead!
