Crosswalks

  • Creekside Park teaches Respect, Responsibility, and Safety. We ask you to please help us teach these values when picking up your children.

     

    If you park in a parking space and/or walk to pick up your children in front of the school, please use the crosswalk at the front entrance of the school or the one at the far end of the parking lot near the preschool playground.

     

    Walking between vehicles is dangerous and not safe for you or your children. Please model responsibility and safety for your child by not walking between vehicles. We have teachers assisting you and your children to cross safely at the main crosswalk, so please use the crosswalks so we can ensure everyone's safety and peace of mind.

Morning Drop-off

    • Students may not be dropped off any earlier than 8:40 am.
    • The left lane is for exiting only. No pick-up or drop-off from this lane. We need to keep the drop-off loop moving.
    • Pull as far forward as you can before you let your child out of the car.
    • All children must exit from the passenger side of the vehicle. Under no circumstances should they be on the driver's side, as cars do pass and are not always able to see your children.
    • Drivers should never leave their vehicles for any reason unless parked in a designated parking space.
    • Once your child is dropped off, please drive slowly out of the drop-off area and parking lot.
