At Patton School we are VERY fortunate to have an amazing group of parents who agree to volunteer their time each and every day at drop-off and pick-up to help ensure a safe arrival to and dismissal from school for all of our children. We still have several issues happening and we need your full cooperation to cut down on the frustrations that traffic team volunteers and other parents are experiencing. **Do NOT drop off at the office for any reason in the mornings...whether you can see it or not, just ONE vehicle that does this can create a major back-up out onto Maude and Kennicott. **Parents using the curbside traffic line for drop-off and pick-up, please pull ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CURVE AT THE END OF THE BLACKTOP. Our traffic volunteers are stationed down there for a reason and that is to help the most number of vehicles at one time so that we move traffic as efficiently as possible through the line and off the streets. **Our fantastic weather days are now numbered. With rain/snow ahead of us in the near future, please understand there will be some natural delays in the efficiency of the traffic line at both drop-off and pick-up. Please do your part!!
**Remember that while you are in the school zone, there is no handheld cell phone use. Above that, please consider not using your phone at all when you drop off and pick up your children from school. We move many vehicles through the Main Lot and therefore many vehicles exit using the adjacent streets. Please pay attention at all times to the children and families who are walking and biking on those streets to also get to school safely. **Please, please, please remember that those vehicles “parked” along the curb between Patton Ave. and Kennicott are waiting in line to enter the Main Lot as instructed. DO NOT CUT IN FRONT OF THEM. They have been waiting patiently and it is rude to disregard that. Please wait to turn onto Maude until that line starts moving or circle through Patton Ave. back onto Kennicott and head back through.

Patton Traffic Team Reminders Tuesdays are band practice days, which means lots of instruments needing to be loaded into cars at the end of the day in the traffic line. Please ask your students to remain on the blacktop area for pickup. If they move up toward the office, they will be asked to move back to the blacktop (and some of those instruments are HEAVY to carry back and forth). Thursdays are running club days and the main lot parking spaces are filling up by 3:15 p.m. Please have a backup plan with your children in the event that you do not get a parking spot in the main lot on those days so they know what to do if they do not see you.
