In the last few weeks, you may have noticed that our local Police Liaison Office, Constable Mark, has been coming to the school to talk with parents about parking and safety at our school. With the increase in the number of students attending our school this year, we have seen an increase in the number of parents/caregiveres dropping off/picking up their children each day. If you have ever driven your child to school, you will know it can be a tight squeeze sometimes.
Constable Mark has been helping drivers to understand where it is safe to park and why there are certain areas that are not safe (and are illegal) to park in. We appreciate Constable Mark’s help with this, as we all want to ensure that our children are going to school in a safe and comfortable environment.
If you have any questions or concerns about parking, please speak with the school administration. For more information, you can refer to the Information for Parents
pdf, which is listed under the “Parents Info” tab on the school’s website.
excerpt from “Information for Parents”
Driving
If
you are driving your children to school we would ask that you obey the
rules of the road and are aware of the traffic conditions around our
school. Front
Street and the roads leading into the school can become quite congested
during the morning drop-off and afternoon pick up times. Please park
on the side roads if you need to come into the school.

The
driveway is for drop-off and pick up only, and the parking lot is
reserved for staff only. Because we have staff that come at different
hours, an empty
spot in the morning does not mean that it won’t be needed later.
