o Weekly Progress Report HERE

The past couple of weeks have reminded us that we are still in Winter and that it will be around for a bit longer.  With that in mind, here are reminders for a safe and efficient traffic experience while driving at SHS:

·  Driving

o Drivers please  be extra cautious and aware and follow the posted and established parking and driving routes.  Winter weather impacts road conditions and visibility and adhering to established routes and expectations will only help in maintaining an efficient and safe traffic process.

·  Student Drop Off & Pick Up

o Please remember that student drop off and pick up is required in the designated Drop Off  / Pick Up Area in the lower parking lot. The Drop Off  / Pick Up Area consists of white lined marked space before and after the staircase.  Please help with traffic flow by having your student exit or enter the car at any time your vehicle is stopped between the lines of the designated Drop Off  / Pick Up Area.

§ Student drop off / pick up in the upper parking lot, closest to the school, is not a designated Drop Off / Pick Up Area and is only for those individuals who have a physical necessity.

·  Student Parking

o Unfortunately we have reached our student parking capacity, there are no more available student parking spaces.  At this time Student Parking is closed for any new drivers.

o Non-registered drivers are not permitted to park on school grounds and any violators are subject to towing at the cost of the vehicle owner.
