Friendly Reminder: New Traffic Pattern

Effective Monday, May 9th, the crossing guard located at McNair Upper ES will move from the existing crosswalk located at Greg Roy to the new crosswalk located near the main entrance of the school. 

Please see the map below for a visual:

crosswalk

A few notes to ensure the safety of our school community…

  • We ask that families use the crosswalk and not cross other parts of Fox Mill Road to get to and from school each day.
  • We kindly ask that families do not double park vehicles, make illegal U-turns, or stop and drop their child off in the middle of Fox Mill Road.
  • Until our school community becomes familiar with this new traffic pattern, we ask that you plan your mornings accordingly by allowing additional time to get to school so that your Mustang is on time.
  • As a friendly reminder, we open our doors at both schools at 8:35 AM. The bell rings at 8:45 AM to begin the instructional day.
  • The Kiss & Ride entrance and exit remain the same. As do the rules when using our Kiss & Ride.

Thank you for your part in make our Mustangs journey to and from school each day a safe one by following these simple traffic rules.
