You must follow our drop-off and pick-up procedures for school. The lives of your children depend on it. Please read this message very carefully; review it with other people who may help transport your children to and from school (grandparents, spouses, and neighbors). Violators will be spoken to. The West Chicago Police Department will become involved if need be. Please respect our crossing guards. They are protecting your children.
Garden Street Procedures
When dropping off or picking up children on Garden Street, please adhere to the following guidelines:
-
All cars must enter Garden Street from the north end of Garden St. by York Street.
-
Cars may park along the west side of Garden Street or enter the gravel lot.
-
Do not block any driveways.
Garden Street Gravel Parking Lot Procedures
When dropping off or picking up children in the gravel parking area, please adhere to the following procedures:
-
To enter the gravel lot, all cars must enter the northernmost driveway. To exit the gravel lot, all cars must exit the southernmost driveway. When exiting, all cars must turn right onto Garden Street and drive south to Washington Street. This keeps the crosswalk open.
-
If the lot is full and the curbside parking is full, wait patiently in line on Garden or York Streets. Do not expect your child to run to the car to get in. This encourages you to get out of the car line and begin to go around other cars. This creates a double lane and creates a dangerous environment for everyone.
Oakwood Avenue Procedures
When dropping off or picking up children on Oakwood, please adhere to the following procedures:
-
All cars must enter Oakwood from the north, approaching from York or Ingalton. Cars may pick-up or drop-off children using the west curb side of Oakwood only. Exit heading south on Oakwood to Washington. Or, use the Church parking lot to park and walk to get your child. Do not pull into the parking lot that is between the Parish Center and the Early Childhood Building, and do not block the driveway. This is a reserved parking area.
-
Crossing guards are necessary to ensure safe crossing for your children. Please remember to grant them your attention and respect.
Bus and Fire Lanes
Bus Lanes and Fire Lanes are in the front of the Church and in front of the Early Childhood Building on Oakwood. Using these lanes may result in a ticket from the West Chicago Police Department.
Bus Lanes and Fire Lanes in front of the school on
Garden Street are also posted. Cars may not park these areas at any
time. Buses do use our bus lane daily, and at varying times.
Please avoid these areas. Park in the gravel lot across from the
school, or along the curb on the west side of Garden Street. We
must all cooperate to offer a safe street for our children and drivers.
