Bobcat Families,
We have a couple of areas we have been working on improving at St. Marys Middle. Some of these we hope to make progress on with one significant change.
Concerns/Problems
1. Tardy for School – Our instructional day starts at 7:30 and we have many students who consistently arrive late for school.
2. Car Line –
a. Our front car line is very slow, and parents get “stuck” in line when one car ahead of them takes a significant amount of time dropping off.
b. Our back car line is also slow from parents avoiding the front car line and traffic on Martha Drive.
3. Walker Safety – At dismissal, we have cars parked on the sidewalk and students are unable to walk on the sidewalk.
4. Traffic – Our front car line causes traffic issues on Martha Drive.
Solution
Beginning WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12TH we are moving our front car line location. The front car line will no longer drop off in the front of the school. The car line will go all the way around the school and will drop off at the cafeteria entrance.
We have poured 225 ft of concrete to make a new, larger drop-off/pick-up area just before the cafeteria entrance. This area will allow more cars to pull up, drop-off their students, and then merge into the outside lane to leave. We have attached a handout that describes the changes in more detail.
Our PALS students will use the front of the school for drop-off and they will also use the front entrance for pick-up in the afternoon.
Buses will use the front entrance for morning drop-off but they will still use the INSIDE LANE of the bus loop for dismissal.
We hope these changes will make your drop-off and pick-up experience smoother and more efficient. We also hope to remove the traffic back-ups on Martha Drive and cars parked on the sidewalk. The new car line is 2,300 feet long and our old car line was 750 feet long so this should remove all traffic off of Martha Drive and speed up the drop-off and pick-up process.
Please review these changes with your students and we will do the same here at school.
