Hook Elementary Traffic

 

 

The 2002-2003 school year is upon us.  Last year school year there were a lot of traffic problems at Hook Elementary.  For the 2002-2003 school year we are going to implement some procedures that should help with the traffic flow during the times that students are being dropped off and being picked up at school.

Some streets will be one way during the times students are dropped off and being picked up.  These times are 7:30-8:30 in the morning and 2:30-3:30 in the afternoon.

Clinton Street will be One Way south from Frey to Vanderbilt.

Jones will be One Way east from Ollie to Clinton.

Shirley and Ollie will remain as two way traffic.  Shirley has limited parking and the buses will be using that street.

The following procedures are for parents dropping off or picking up students at Hook Elementary.

Third Grade parents use Jones, which is one way east.  Parents use the drive-thru which is wide enough for two vehicles.  Students will be dropped off or picked up from this drive-thru.  Do Not Stop in the drive-thru and go inside to talk to teachers or pickup your child.  Stay with your vehicle and keep the flow of traffic moving.  Depart on Jones or Clinton to Vanderbilt.  While you are waiting for school to release, leave room on Jones to allow traffic to get through.  Do not block traffic on Ollie and do not double park, if necessary you may wait on Jones Street west of Ollie.

Forth Grade parents use Clinton, which will be one way south.  Pickup or drop off children at the east end of school.  Depart south on Clinton and turn left on Jones or continue south to Vanderbilt.  Leave room on Clinton for one lane of traffic to move through to the south.  Always leave room for at least one lane of traffic to drive through.  Do not double park.

You may wait in the no parking areas as long as you stay with your car.  Drivers violating traffic laws or parking restrictions will receive a ticket.  There will be no warnings other than this letter.

Our goal is to keep the traffic moving and to keep your children safe.  Please keep this in mind when driving around the school.  Drive with courtesy and respect for other drivers and pedestrains.

Sincerely,

Chief Roy Halsell
