Carpool Rules

• For drop off, park legally and walk your child in or use the car pool line on Warner Avenue or Holmby Avenue.

General Safety Rules

• DO NOT park and leave your vehicle unattended at the drop-off/pick-up zones in front of the school!
• Cross your children at the corner (crosswalks). Do not cross mid-block. Jay-walking is illegal and very dangerous.
• Do not make U-turns in intersections, in front of or around the school. (That includes 3-point turns in neighbors' driveways.)
• Do not block, stop or park in our neighbor's driveways, even for "a minute."
• Come to a full stop at the stop signs every time.
• Do not stop to let your children out in a red zone... that means on the corners, too.
• Do not stop or drive in to the teachers' parking lot or driveway. It's dangerous.
• Do not Double Park and let your child out. This forces them to walk between cars.
• Exit your child directly onto the sidewalk. Not on the street side of the car.
• DO abide by parking signs and traffic rules.
• DO respect our neighbors.
• DO NOT cross between traffic!
• DO NOT text and drive.
• Don’t talk on your cell phone while driving or crossing the street.
• DO drive with care and concern for our students and families.
• Don’t park in the drop-off lanes on Holmby and Warner.
• Do not block our neighbors’ driveways or knock over their trash cans. They have and will call the police.
• Never, ever park in the No Parking Zone in front of the school. Not even for a minute. We love you and appreciate all you do, but you will be towed.
