Drop Off Update

This morning I watched the drop off procedures at King closely. Here is what I saw:
  • Five buses dropped off approximately 200+ students safely;
  • Approximately 200 students waked OR got dropped off at school;
  • Cars entered the front circle in an orderly way;
  • No cars dropped off in the areas where orange cones exist;
  • One car was standing at the curb for an extended period;
  • TWO cars dropped off students in unsafe ways. One car dropped off a child six feet from the curb and another car pulled up to the curb at an angle. Both of these situations resulted in traffic flow being impeded by having cars stopped in the lane of traffic--as well as greater likelihood of an accident that could have resulted in student injury.
As always, we need to be cognizant about safety during drop off times. Please do your part and follow the drop off procedures: Drop off only in the front drive between 8:40 and 9:10; no standing or parking." Thank you!
