Good day, CHS Family,
To enhance safety in the back parking lot for the 2025–2026 school year, several key changes will be implemented:
New Traffic Flow Guidelines
Mandatory Back-In Parking (PM only): All drivers are required to back into their designated parking spaces. This facilitates safer and more efficient departures after dismissal.
Lane 2 Access and Exit: Drivers may enter and park in Lane 2 (highlighted in blue on the provided map). However, all Lane 2 vehicles must exit through the designated pass-through gate to maintain a smooth traffic flow.
Student Walkways: Portable fencing (indicated by red lines) will be installed to guide students safely from the school building to their vehicles, minimizing the risk of crossing active traffic lanes. Students will be required to walk beside the portable fencing as another safety precaution.
Safety Measures
Portable Fencing: Strategically placed to prevent lane crossing and ensure students follow designated paths.
Staff Supervision: Multiple school personnel will be present during drop-off and pick-up times to assist with traffic management and student safety.
Important Reminders
Adherence to New Patterns: Compliance with the updated traffic flow is crucial for the safety of all students and staff.
Patience During Transition: As everyone adjusts to the new system, please allow extra time during drop-off and pick-up periods.
These changes are part of a broader initiative to improve student safety during arrival and dismissal times. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and go Panthers!
Matthew Davis
Principal
