Bonjour BP families. 

As we approach the busy start and end of each school day, we would like to gently remind everyone to please follow our traffic and safety protocols during student drop-off and pick-up times. 

Recently, we have observed a few close calls involving student and driver safety, and we want to work together to ensure our school community remains safe for everyone. 

Please keep the following in mind: 

  • Students should not jaywalk. We ask families to use designated crosswalks and encourage children to cross safely and responsibly. 
  • Parents and guardians must obey posted speed limits around the school at all times. 
  • U-turns are not permitted during drop-off and pick-up, as they create dangerous and unpredictable traffic situations. 
  • The staff parking lot is not to be used for student drop-off or pick-up. This area is reserved for staff parking only. 

We understand that mornings and afternoons can be busy, and taking a few extra moments to follow these guidelines makes a significant difference in keeping our students safe. Thank you for your cooperation, patience, and continued support in helping us maintain a safe school environment.
