Dangerous Drop-Off Practice Must Stop

Dear SRLA Families,

A concerned parent sent me this earlier today.

"Today at drop-off, I noticed that some drivers continue to drive around stopped cars as children are departing the car, and I wanted to bring it to your attention. This has happened to us multiple times, with a vehicle squeezing between the side of my car and the walkway or the median while my children are getting out. It is dangerous."

As a reminder, not a single car should pass a car on the left as they are unloading children in the morning.

Please just take the extra minute to ensure that all of our children are safe and sound on school grounds.

I also ask for your cooperation in not parking in the Weichert Realtor parking lot at anytime. 

The manager complained that his employees and clients many times cannot get a parking space and they see people crossing over to the school. 

Students must cross with the crossing guard who is on duty at 7 am and leaves at the end of the day.

Thank you,

 

Tina Underwood, Principal
