Arrival Procedures
Families who need to drop off older students at Forest Road School can drop their kindergartner off at our back doors at 8:15. Please reinforce that your child should wait near the building with you and that it is not time to play on the outdoor playground. Miss Anderson will stay at the door until 8:20 for families who are running late. Once she closes the door, we do not have anyone on duty to monitor the hallway until 8:30 since teachers are on duty in the classrooms. If you arrive after the door closes, please walk to the front of the building to wait with our other families.
Our bell rings at 8:30 for the official start of our day. All other families, or anyone running late, can wait with their child outside the main front doors on Barnsdale until the doors open at 8:30. The tardy bell rings at 8:35. All students should be in their classroom at this time. If a student arrives after 8:35, he/she will need to stop in the office for a tardy slip.
We are asking your support in respecting these procedures. Lately we have had students trickling in the entire time between 8:15-8:45. This creates an unsafe environment since we do not have staff available to be on duty the entire time. We want to ensure that students are not wandering the building, or worse, leaving the building. In addition, the constant ringing of the bell puts a stress on our office staff, Mrs. Witt. During this early time she is trying to keep up with absence reports and ensuring that substitutes are ready.
Parking and Traffic Flow
As of November 1, 2011, there is no parking in the Barnsdale / Forest Road parking lot from 8:00 - 8:30 am or 3:00 - 3:30 pm on school days. At all other times, parents can park in the last two rows (nearest Barnsdale Rd.) of the south parking lot. If you find the south lot full, you can park on Garfield or south on Barnsdale.
Please be aware that:
--There is No Parking in the bus lane (reserved for buses)
--There is No Parking in the North Lot (reserved for Science Center and Township Treasurer)
--There is No Parking in Handicapped Parking Spaces (reserved for handicapped drivers)
--The Staff Parking Lot and the back driveway behind Barnsdale Road School are NOT to be used as drop off/pick up lines.
We need to be respectful of the purposes for which these spaces are intended. Police officers monitor the traffic flow of both Barnsdale and Forest Road vehicles.
We thank you for your cooperation.
