As we start a new school year, here are some friendly reminders to all families about Glacial Drumlin School traffic expectations. With your help we will be able to create a SAFE environment, and a fast and efficient student drop-off and pick-up experience.

• Supervision begins at 7:30 am at GDS. Please do not drop students off before supervision is available. The first bell will ring for their first class at 7:55am. Please keep busy traffic patterns in mind when determining your family’s morning drop-off schedule. Students are expected to be in class by 8:00 am.
• Student Drop-off and Pick-up is located along the curb by the Main Office ONLY. Cars dropping off/picking-up students should pull as far forward as possible. GDS Supervision Staff will be available to assist with reminding drivers of this expectation.
• Parents/Guardians dropping-off or picking-up students should enter GDS grounds via the North driveway (along the softball diamonds), travel past the GDS playground, and pull as far forward as possible along the Main Office curb. The Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up location is clearly marked in yellow. 
• Bus Drop-off and Pick-up along with Students that Bike is located along the curb of the lower parking lot. It is clearly marked as a Bus Loading/Unloading Zone. Please do NOT park in the lower parking lot to pick-up or drop off your child. This is a safety concern. Remind your child that they must walk their bikes across the crosswalk and on the sidewalks on school grounds. Students may only lock bikes in designated bike racks located on the bike pads.

These procedures ensure that safety remains a high priority here at GDS.
