Parents, please share this notice with everyone who drops off and picks up your children from school. Clairbourn has safe and orderly arrival and departure procedures. When followed by alert drivers, they provide Clairbourn students and families with efficiency and protection. We rely on your full attention when in the parking lot area to ensure the safety of everyone. Please be mindful of these distractions that can compromise the safety of our students and families.

 

1. Hurrying - Rushing through the parking lot area in order to be on time to Morning Assembly or some other event causes people to take less time in making important safety decisions. Resist this temptation. 

 

2. Cell Phones - Do not use your cell phone in the parking lot area, whether driving or walking. This includes calls, texts, and emails. We need your full attention while in the parking lot area.

 

3. Backing Up - The Clairbourn parking spaces are on an angle and require extreme care when backing out. Most drivers are courteous and patient. They will recognize your desire to exit and will do what they can to assist you. However, during peak arrival and departure times, delays are inevitable. Don't let these delays compromise your full attention to safety.

 

4. Looping Back - If it is necessary for you to "go around" in the parking lot, you must not block cars exiting the parking lot. This can lead to gridlock, anxiety, and loss of the safety protocol. If you cannot position your car to "go around", you must exit the parking lot and line up again.

 

5. Improper Drop-Off Procedures - There are too many to list them all, but improper procedures include: dropping off from the driving lane, dropping off in the driving lane on Huntington Drive, dropping off near the back parking lot.

 

6. Crosswalks - Please use the designated crosswalks or sidewalks. It is very dangerous for students to walk around moving cars. The pedestrian walkway in the center of the parking lot is there for your safety and the safety of your children.

 

7. Parking - Please only use designated parking spots. Do not use spots reserved for the CFA President, the Auction winner, or handicap spots. Please do not park in the driving lanes, along the curb in the parking lot, in the fire lane, or in front of the fire gate off Vista street. It impedes traffic flow. Do not take up two spaces when parking.

 

8. Unattended Vehicles - Please do not leave your car running and unattended.
