?The first day back can cause anxiety for both students and parents. KPD will monitor the traffic flow and respond as needed. We ask that you please obey all the traffic control signs posted around the schools and have extra patience for those who might be dropping off for the first time.?
KPD tips to make the first day a success …
Pay extra attention in school zones and parking lots. Sometimes our little Wildcats have been spotted darting between cars.
- You can’t use your cell phone in an active school zone.
- Do not park your vehicle in a handicapped space if you do not have handicapped plates or a properly displayed placard. Never park in a fire lane.
- Remember that the curb nearest to Delaney Elementary on Cloverlane Drive is a No Parking Zone during school hours.
- Watch for and obey the Delaney crosswalk guard. He is there to protect your children.
- Remember that Mistletoe Drive between in front of Arthur is one way from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 to 3:45 p.m.
- Give yourself some extra time during the first week. We have a lot of schools in a small area, which means traffic can be quite congested for the first few days, but it usually improves by the second week.
- Consider going on a trial run the weekend before to decide which route works the best for your family.
