There are two entrances into the parking lot in front of our school. The main entrance, right beside the crosswalk, is for staff only. This entrance is used to enter the main upper staff parking lot which is for staff only as well. Parents are not permitted to use this entrance or parking lot. The second, smaller entrance south of the main entrance is for families to enter to drop off or pick up their child. The small road and parking lot directly in front of the school is a one way only. If you are entering the Tom Baines parking area, you need to use the smaller South entrance. Please do not turn into the main entrance, that is an exit only.

We also ask parents who are using the main entrance to exit turning left, to not make another lane. There should just be one lane of traffic for parents who are exiting the drop off area regardless of if you are turning right or left. 

We are going to start monitoring the parking lot and not allowing parents to use the main entrance as it causes chaos and is dangerous, specifically after school. We ask that you arrange a location for pick up and drop off that is not in the parking lot area and have your child walk to that location after school.

Please see the attached pictures that outline the signs confirming the no parking and one way traffic areas as well.

Thank you,

Tom Baines Administration
