Field Elementary School issued the following announcement on Sept. 29.
Your Help is Needed and Appreciated – The safety of every student is very important to me and I genuinely need everyone’s support to keep our students safe. Review this diagram showing how the drop-off and pick-up traffic should flow. This plan was developed by the Elmhurst Police Department and the Civil Engineering Department as the safest, most efficient way to pick up and drop off students at Field. However, for this to work optimally, all families need to follow the guidelines established. If possible, please walk to school if and when you are able. Walking will decrease the traffic congestion and tends to be the least stressful mode of travel.
If parents must drive, please adhere to the following:
Parents must remain in their cars and children should be ready to exit as soon as the car stops. Children should exit only at the sidewalk area.
Please do not double park to drop off your children and abide by the signs in the front of the building.
Remain with your car at all times.
There is no parking in front of the building from 8 to 8:30 AM and again from 2:45 to 3:15 PM.
Make sure students arrive in plenty of time so they do not feel rushed or worry about being late.
When picking up students, please circle the block until there is a place to pull up next to the curb.
Do not enter the parking lot and never park in front of the parking lot driveway to wait for students. If you must park, please do so on Emroy south of the parking lot driveway or on the south side of Melrose.
Load children as quickly as possible and pull out to allow the next family to pick up their child.
Also, inform anyone who may be dropping off or picking up your child of these rules.
At all times, please be patient and courteous. When one or two parents do not follow the system it slows down the entire process so please follow the steps above.
