Good morning, Unity families!
We want to remind everyone of our parking lot procedures to ensure a smooth and safe drop-off for all students.
Parents driving onto Unity Avenue must stay in the far-left lane, while school buses remain in the right lane, as Unity Avenue functions as two lanes during drop-off. Parents will turn left into the parking lot, follow the traffic flow, and drop off their students at the designated drop-off spot marked with the rainbow star in the image.
Please remember that drop-off should only take a few seconds. If you need more time, please pull into a parking stall. Parents must stay inside their vehicles unless they are parked in a parking spot. If you want to watch your child walk into the school, please park in a parking spot so you do not stop or block traffic. Please follow all traffic laws at all times while in the drop-off area.
There are no U-turns allowed on Cecelia Street or Unity Avenue. Please do not block traffic at any time.
When exiting the parking lot, please yield and watch for buses. Do not pull out in front of them, as buses need more distance to stop.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our traffic moving!
This is just a reminder that tomorrow, 12/4, begins our 12 days of Holidays here at Unity! Tomorrow is Deck the Halls! Our K-2 students and staff should wear Green, our 3-5 students and staff should wear Red, and all other staff should wear White! Hope to see our hallways all decked out tomorrow!
