For the safety of our students, faculty, and families, all parents are requested to follow the traffic pattern when dropping off and picking up students. We require your attention and cooperation in following these traffic regulations to provide a safe environment:

1. For safety reasons, students should only be dropped off and picked up at the front of the drive-through car line in the schoolyard. If you need to drop off or pick up a student early, you must park at the curb on the school side of Massey Street. No student should be crossing Massey Street in the middle of the block. Hermosa Beach Police will cite offenders.
2. Do not use your cell phone or other mobile device while driving.
3. Do not block the school driveways or double-park in front of the school or church.
4. When driving into the schoolyard, please use extreme caution, observe the cones, and follow the directions of the yard duty personnel
5. During school hours, you may not drive or park on the schoolyard, unless special arrangements have been made with school administration (funerals, field trip transportation, etc.)

Parents who allow students to ride bicycles and skateboards to school must review safety rules with their children. Students must wear a helmet at all times. Students are not allowed to ride bicycles on the school grounds or on the sidewalks bordering the school grounds. If a student fails to comply with these rules of safety, the privilege of riding a bicycle to school may be suspended, and the bicycle may be impounded. Skateboards and roller skates/blades are not permitted at school unless prior arrangements have been made with the principal.

Students who have permission from their parents to walk home, ride a bicycle home, or use public transportation must have a completed and signed authorization form on file in the school office. Be sure to return the authorization form found at the back of the handbook.
