Help improve arrival and dismissal

Help improve morning drop-off by following the procedures in the FLA Parent Handbook. Morning arrival should occur between 8:35-8:45am. For the safety of our students, all children being dropped off must be driven to the West side of the building in the lower parking lot. Drivers should arrive from Main St, turning onto 34th St or 34th Terrace, turn RIGHT into the lower parking lot, circle through to drop off, then exit to the RIGHT on 34th St and out onto Warwick. One-way traffic in the morning will decrease congestion and make it safer for everyone. If you plan to park and walk your student into the building, you must find a parking space in the upper lot, or on surrounding streets.

Ayude a mejorar las mañanas en la escuela con los procedimientos descritos en el Manual de Padres de FLA. La llegada de la mañana debe ocurrir entre 8: 35-8: 45am. Para la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, todos los niños que llegan por carro se deben dejar al lado oeste del edificio en el estacionamiento más bajo. Favor de llegar desde Main St, girando a 34th St o 34th Terrace, al entrar en el estacionamiento gire a la DERECHA y dé una vuelta para dejar sus niños, luego salir a la DERECHA en 34 th St y siga hacia Warwick. El tráfico de una solo vía en la mañana disminuirá la congestión y lo hará más seguro para todos. Si planea aparcar y caminar con su estudiante al edificio, debe encontrar una plaza de aparcamiento en el estacionamiento superior, o en las calles circundantes.
