Pick-up/Drop-off
Starting Monday, August 17, several activities will be rehearsing/practicing on campus at the same time. In an effort to keep the driving lanes clear in case of an emergency we and the campus administration are asking that if you arrive early to pick up your child from an event that you please park in a parking space rather than waiting in a driving lane or against the curb. Because the back of the school will be very congested around the time we end rehearsal, we are asking that students be picked up in the front parking lot.
Last year, there was an emergency situation on campus where an ambulance had to be called. This happened right around the time we dismissed from band practice. With the congestion of multiple athletic events/practices going on at the same time as our rehearsal, it left the back driving lanes of the school very congested to the point that it impeded the path of the ambulance to reach its destination. The person in need was fine; however, the mobility issue caught everyone’s attention to address the situation in case there is a life-threatening emergency the next time an ambulance is called.
Thank you for complying with this policy as we strive to do what is best for the safety of our students, staff, and guests at Clear Springs High School.
Note: If someone asks you to move, please cooperate. There may be parent volunteers, school personnel, law enforcement officials, and fire department personnel making occasional checks of the drive lanes after school hours.
