Kooser School Traffic

We appreciate your help with following this plan to keep our students safe!

To ensure the safety of our students please adhere to the following as you drop off and pick up your students each day. Please discuss these rules with your students so they will understand their importance. It is imperative that we all work together to maintain a safe environment for our students as they arrive and leave school each day.

Driving

  • When dropping off and picking students up, follow the plan outlined on the map created by the city traffic engineers. See map with directions.
  • Enter the loading/unloading zone in front of school from the North, and do not leave your car.
  • After dropping off or picking up students please carefully pull out of the curb lane to exit to allow the curb traffic to keep moving.
  • When exiting the drop off lane only turn right on 13 th Street.

  • Students should exit and enter their vehicle only on the right passenger side so they do not have to cross through the moving traffic lane.
