In Los Angeles, traffic fatalities are the leading cause of death for children ages 5 to 14. Our goal is to maintain a safe environment for our students. We ask parents to join us in practicing traffic and parking safety during drop-off and pick-up by adhering to the following safety guidelines stated in the announcement.
- Drive at the school zone speed limit of 25 MPH on streets in front of and around the school
- Make a complete stop at stop signs
- Refrain from making u-turns around the perimeter of the school
- Remind children to walk on sidewalks and crosswalks. Do NOT encourage children to jay-walk
- Do not park in red zones
- Yield to children crossing the streets
- Drive at the speed limit and do NOT attempt to drive across the crosswalks as children are crossing the street
- Do NOT enter the school parking lot through the exit
- Park in the allocated parking spots on the street. Do not double park.
- If/when driving along the service road, please drive the posted speed limit of 8 MPH.
The police department and school police have been informed of these safety concerns and will be monitoring the premises to ensure a safe morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Your diligent attention to this matter is paramount to the safety of our children. Please continue to drive carefully and be aware of your surroundings as you drop-off/pick-up your children.
