Yikes! Traffic pattern violations raise safety concerns
We need your help in the traffic loop around the main lot to prevent accidents.
The traffic loop is two-way until after the theater parking lot.
Please, do not enter the left lane until you pass the theater.
Follow the direction arrows painted on the pavement. We ask that you review the traffic patterns with friends, relatives, or nannies who pick up your children.
Laptop program showcase
