Parking Lot Etiquette

During two small windows of time every school day, almost 600 students arrive at Marshall Lane to join their classmates.  Although we are fortunate to have two parking lots and organized drop off and pick up procedures, the sheer volume of traffic creates a challenge at these times.  We are asking for your help and cooperation to make this process as smooth as possible for everyone.

Please follow these simple procedures when parking, picking up or dropping off your child/ren.

• Be courteous and patient in our parking lot and the surrounding areas. All of the people in line also have children at our school and they want them to be safe.
• Park only in marked parking spaces.  Leaving your car in red zones, handicapped spaces or adjacent to fences that are clearly marked “No Parking” blocks traffic and causes additional problems.
• Be kind to our neighbors by not blocking their driveways or parking on their property.
• Stopping in the traffic lane on Sobey Drive to drop off or pick up your child/ren is unsafe and blocks traffic.  Either use the drop off zones in the parking lots or park your car and walk your child into school. 

The Sheriff’s Department Traffic Control Division has been advised of issues that have been reported and have agreed to monitor and write citations to those who are not following the traffic laws.

We appreciate the cooperation and patience of everyone as we attempt to make the process as smooth as possible.  Thank you!
