PROPER PROCEDURE FOR STUDENT DROP-OFF A.M.

 

     In our effort to ensure the safety of all students during the high-traffic morning time, we ask for your help and continual cooperation in the following areas:

 

  • Please be sure all vehicles are taken to the back parking lot for student drops. Due to buses in the front parking lot, it is an extreme hazard for our students to be dropped by personal vehicles in the front parking lot.

 

  • Note the new signs and driving lanes for the back parking lot. During the morning hours of 7:00 am – 8:00 am, the Hickory Lane turn will be for entrance traffic only. The left lane will be used for those wanting to park; the right lane will be used for those dropping students off at the awnings. All traffic during these hours will exit the parking lot at the Addison Warehouse. NO EXIT ONTO HICKORY LANE.

 

  • Please drive slowly and carefully in the back parking lot – always watching for the unexpected.

 

  • In the back parking lot, please keep vehicles in a single-file for student unloading. We understand that this process may be a bit slower, but it is much safer than having multiple lines of vehicles with students crossing in front and between cars.

 

  • Please park only in the back parking lot where slots are clearly marked and available. This allows cars to proceed to the drop off area in the back in a single file line. We ask that each vehicle pull to the end of the awnings before unloading. We have two staff members ready to escort children inside before the 7:40 bell. This will also help alleviate traffic congestion. The back parking lot offers parking slots that will accommodate parents who wish to walk their children to class.

 

     These children are our greatest treasures. We appreciate all of your help and understanding in dealing with these safety issues here at G. C. Burkhead.

 

 

Please do not stop and drop off your child(ren) in unauthorized areas.  We cannot guarantee their safety in dangerous unloading zones.

 

Any student who is dropped off after 7:40 a.m. MUST report to the office before going to the classroom.
