Important Traffic & Parking Updates for the New School Year

Dear Parents and Guardians,

To help improve the safety and efficiency of traffic on and around campus, we would like to share several important updates regarding our new school zone, speed limits, and campus parking procedures.

New School Zone & Speed Limit

Please be aware that Rattler Road now has a designated school zone with a reduced posted speed limit. We ask all drivers to obey the posted speed limit, remain alert for students and pedestrians, and allow extra travel time during student arrival and dismissal.

Campus Parking Changes

To improve traffic flow and enhance student safety, the following parking changes are now in effect:

Office Parking Lot

• Reserved for staff and visitors conducting business in the main office. 
• No student parking. 
• No student drop-off or pick-up is permitted in this lot before or after school. 

Small North Parking Lot (Closest to the Athletic Fields)

• Reserved for staff parking during school hours only. 
• No student drop-off or pick-up is permitted in this lot. 

Large North Parking Lot

• Designated for: 
  • Student parking 
  • Student drop-off and pick-up 
  • Visitor parking 

New Traffic Pattern

The Large North Parking Lot now has a new traffic pattern. Please follow all posted signs, directional arrows, and staff instructions when entering and exiting the lot.

You will also notice yellow chain barriers installed to close certain traffic lanes. These barriers have been added to improve traffic flow and increase safety for students, families, and staff. Directional arrows will also be repainted on the asphalt to help guide drivers.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as everyone becomes familiar with these new procedures. By following these guidelines, you help create a safer environment for our students, families, and staff.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to a safe and successful school year!
