Student safety is always our top priority at Falls City Middle School. To help ensure a safe and smooth arrival and dismissal for all students, we would like to remind families of a few important expectations regarding drop-off and pick-up procedures.
1. Please do not drop off or pick up students in the bus lane.
The curb along the front of our building is painted red to identify it as a designated bus loading zone. This area must remain clear for buses from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each school day. Please do not use this area to drop off or pick up students. I will attach a map to this email.
2. Please use one of our three designated parking lots.
We encourage parents and family members to drop off and pick up students using one of the three parking areas connected to the middle school:
The gravel parking lot in front of the building
The north parking lot
The south parking lot
Using these parking areas helps keep traffic moving safely and reduces congestion around the building.
3. Students must use the crosswalk when crossing the street.
Any student crossing the street to or from school must use the designated crosswalk. Please help us reinforce this expectation with your students and remind them to watch for traffic and follow safe crossing procedures.
Thank you for your continued support as we work together to keep kids safe.
