  • School Parking Lot: This lot is reserved for Staff Only during the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal periods.
  • Andrew Fleck Families: Parents dropping off children before the morning bell must follow these same procedures to allow staff to prepare for general student arrival.

🚫 Restricted Areas & Traffic Rules

  • Randall Street: This area is a strictly designated No Parking/No Drop-Off Zone. This space must remain clear to allow school buses to load and unload students safely.
  • No 3-Point Turns: To maintain a safe and predictable flow of traffic, please refrain from making 3-point turns during peak drop-off and pick-up periods.

🚶 Pedestrian Safety: Ridgecrest Area

  • Special Attention Required: Please exercise extreme caution on Ridgecrest PL.
  • No Sidewalks: There are currently no sidewalks available on Ridgecrest; please be hyper-vigilant of students and families walking directly on the roadway.

🏘️ Community Etiquette

Please do not park in or block our neighbours’ driveways. We value our relationship with the community and ask that you remain mindful of their property access.

🚌 Bus Zone & Flow

  • The Bus Gate: This entrance is for the sole use of bus students to ensure a fluid flow.
  • No Crowding: Please avoid congregating in front of the buses while picking up your child. Keeping this area clear allows staff and students to access their rides safely.
