TRANSPORTATION

Murray School has limited parking facilities, and this sometimes causes traffic problems in the front area of the school. The rear parking lot is blocked off from traffic during the day. Parking is in the front along the edge of the driveway. Please avoid parking in the handicapped area and/or blocking other cars. We ask for your cooperation in trying to keep traffic moving smoothly and safely during the heavy traffic times of arrival and dismissal. We encourage our parents to escort students who walk or ride their bikes (if they are old enough) to school whenever possible, thus helping to minimize traffic volume.

If you plan to drive your child(ren) to school, use the front driveway to drop off or pick up your child(ren). Do not stop in the street on Honeycutt to let your child(ren) out or in the car. Please drive slowly and keep circling the parking lot until your child is waiting at the curb. Staff members will get your child as quickly as possible to your car. All students will be dismissed by 2:50 p.m.

Walkers need to stay on the sidewalks and follow the directions of the crossing guards. If your child is late for school, Post and school regulations require an adult to sign him/her into the office. Please do not drop your child off and send them in without an adult to sign them in. The tardy bell rings at 8:25.

Bike riders also use the sidewalks, but need to be mindful of walkers. Please walk your bikes across the cross walk areas and on the school grounds.

It is important to remember that while we use our parking lots to pick up children, lanes must remain open for buses and emergency vehicles. Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the front of the building to come to the office to pick up your child.
