The Parking Lot / Questions and Answers
These are items posted on the large chart paper
to be addressed by administration.
Question #1: Can we shift traffic to the parking lot instead
of the street for drop off and pick-up?
Answer / SC : We
realize that traffic is an ongoing concern. Prior to the opening
of the new campus
we did conduct a traffic
survey. We had county personnel come out and work on the
traffic flow. The present traffic pattern for all intents and
purposes
is the best solution and safest for all students during drop
off & pick- up.
Question #2: Can we lighten the load in the 6th grade back pack?
Answer / SC: The middle school back packs can be a bit cumbersome.
I will need to meet with the teachers and see if we can come
up with some solutions.
