On November 1st, due to the increased volume of traffic in the Barnsdale/Forest Road School parking lot, we will be closing the lot to all traffic except staff between 8:00-8:30 am and 3:00-3:30 pm.
We have made this decision for numerous reasons: people violating parking laws by parking in the fire lane, handicapped spots, and double parking; using the parking lot as a drop off/pick up zone which risks the safety of the students; and continuing to park in numbered spaces designated for staff resulting in no parking for our teachers.
We have tried repeatedly through our handbook and newsletters to collaborate with families. We are desperately trying to make sure all students remain safe. If the above mentioned violations continue to occur, we may have to result to towing unauthorized vehicles during the 8:00-8:30 time frame.
Parking for families during arrival and dismissal is still available on Garfield, north/south of the 900 block on Barnsdale, and north/south of the 900 block on Forest Road. The small lot on the north side of Barnsdale Road School is only for Science Center staff and Township Treasurer's Office.
Please help us ensure that everyone arrives at school safely each day by obeying these parking regulations.
