School Safety Dos and Dont’s
- Do use designated safe zones
Please wait to drop off and pick up your children until you reach the green Safe Loading Zone. - Do park properly
Please use designated parking spaces and public parking. Parking up at Orpheus Park and walking down can be a good alternative for many families. - Do role model good behavior
As we transition to this new traffic flow, please be respectful of your safety guards, parent volunteers and safety patrol who may give guidance on the appropriate routes to take. - Do practice
Please take the time before school starts to practice how you will drop off and pick up. - Do share this information
Please share your this letter with anyone involved with PEC drop off and pick up. - Do be patient
The transition will take some getting used to. We will collect feedback, review over fall break and make any necessary changes. If you have any questions, please email pec.tsc@gmail.com. - Do be a good neighbor
The business parking lots on Vulcan are not public lots and cannot be used for school parking. Neighboring business will start towing cars, at your expense, should you park in their lots. Also please do not block neighbors’ driveways. - Don’t “jump the line”
Trying to cut in is disrespectful, dangerous and will be cited. - Don’t head south on Vulcan
To arrive at drop off from Leucadia Blvd., please take Hygeia to either Cereus (for the East Route) or to Orpheus and then northbound on Vulcan (for the West Route). The City has posted no left turn signs during school drop off and pick up times on Vulcan at Union and the Kinder Lot to keep you and our children safe.
