The safety of each of our students at Little Mountain Elementary is of primary importance!  To ensure everyone's protection, please keep the following items in mind when using the car pick up area of our school:

1)  For parking purposes, car pick-up time is 1:00 - 2:30 in the south lot.  Parking is NOT permitted on the curb between those hours.  Please do not park in any space that is nearst the curb.  There are several handicap spaces that are reserved only for vehicles that display the Handicap Permit.

2)  We utilize every inch of curbside to get as many cars in line as possible.  Once traffic begins moving, the entire car pick-up process takes about 10 minutes. Therefore, it is not necessary for parents to walk through traffic to pick up children.  If you can't wait that long or you need to come into the building, park in the south parking lot spaces beyond the flowerbeds and use the crosswalk area.

3)  Follow the line of cars in front of you, pulling ahead as far as you can when there is space in front of you.  This will help us get the largest number of cars on the curb.

4)  We will NOT send students off the curb to meet parents on the fire lane or in the parking lot.  Parents must use the crosswalk and escort their student through traffic.

5)  Please do not expect your student to walk to the road to enter your car.  Since LaVenture Road is a no-parking zone, picking up students on the street is illegal, and you could receive a large fine for endangering your child and other drivers this way.

6)  Jaywalking across the busy LaVenture Road is also illegal and needlessly puts you and your children at risk.  Please do not park in the doctors' office parking lots and gamble with crossing traffic.

7)  Please be courteous to crossing guards, staff, and other drivers.  We have the best interest of the children at heart!
