Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for the adjustments you’ve been making during drop off and pick up! We hope you’ve seen and appreciated the small improvements. I am confident that as we continue to make small changes, we will soon feel big rewards!
I received a lot of feedback that some people coming from the south (12300 S) are trying to turn left in the morning and creating dangerous conditions.
Our school entrance was designed for NO LEFT TURNS at any time, either in or out. At certain times, turning left becomes very dangerous. For your safety, we try to enforce this rule during drop off and pick up.
If you approach campus from the south:
- We would encourage you to change your route and come from the north
- ALWAYS yield to oncoming traffic, those coming from the north. Do not cut in front of them (See Utah Driver Handbook page 29 https://dld.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2018/12/Driver-Handbook-2018-2019.pdf)
- There is only room for about 3 cars to fit in the left turning lane. If the turning lane is full OR there are no breaks in oncoming traffic OR it is after 7:30 am you should drive to River Chapel road to turn around (see map)
- Please do not drive in the neighborhoods at any time (Election Rd, Inauguration Rd, Bubbling Brook Ln, Beverly Ann Dr)
- These directions apply whether or not a staff member is present to redirect you
I also wanted to mention that Mr. Bazan and I are working to create training videos. Please be assured that we will not include any faces or license plates in our videos unless you give us specific permission to do so.
Thank you again for your patience! We are so happy to have you at our school and part of our community.
