Walking or parkING in the neighborhood

• To reduce traffic in our dense residential neighborhood, we highly recommend parking and/or walking to the school.

• Please do not double park, block the street or block neighbors' access to their driveways.

• Be sure to use the cross walks! Orange flags are provided for extra safety to ensure cars can see you.

• Only Hearst Ave gates and the front doors on Lincoln Avenue are unlocked for those walking to school.

• Below is a map of nearby safe areas to park and walk students to school in less than 5 minutes with other fellow squirrels. Arranging walking buses from these points with small friend groups are also highly encouraged.
