I want to thank all parents for being patient in our implementation of the new traffic procedures. Today had positives and negatives that we hope to learn from.
Some of the negatives were:
- Ensuring all students learn the new pick-up area (unfortunately one class forgot to remind the students)
- Things can be a little tight when making the right hand turn into the playground
- Our speed bump is a little high, causing some cars to possibly scrape the underside
- Some kids were picked up outside the pick-up area
- You have to be a bit more patient, but kids will eventually make it to you
- Need more volunteers
Our positives:
- All kids were picked up by 2:58 pm
- Once kids arrived traffic flowed well
- The backup on Santa Cora Ave was all but eliminated (at least today)
So overall, today was a good day! As mentioned there was no backup on Santa Cora (at least not at 2:50 pm) which greatly improves street traffic and improves safety for those students walking home. We hope our procedure will improve even more as we all get used to the new routine, but thank you all for your patience and support.
If you have any suggestions and or comments please let me know.
