We need your support to help keep all students safe during morning drop-off.
Recently, there have been several close calls with children being dropped off in the middle of Howellville and Cassatt Roads and then running across traffic. This is extremely dangerous—especially with limited visibility around moving vehicles and school buses.
Please use the designated drop-off area in the school parking lot, where staff and crossing guards can assist with a safe arrival.
Here is a message from Dr DiLella shared earlier this week reiterating safety concern:
Morning Drop Off Reminder
Parent & Guardians - Good morning! I wanted to quickly address two situations that have been occurring recently. In the Morning, several students are being dropped off in the middle of both Howellville and Cassatt Roads. I understand that traffic in the morning can be frustrating - these drop offs have resulted in students running across moving traffic which creates a significant safety concern. Please take your time and enter our parking lot where a student can be dropped off safely in front of the building. I would much rather a student be a few minutes late then risk an accident.
The Main Line Berwyn Apartments has contacted us due to several students riding electric and mechanical bikes through their parking lot. They wanted to remind us that the parking lot is private property, and students should not use their lot to access the adjoining neighborhoods.
Our transportation department has done a wonderful job with busing this year. I always encourage (if possible) to have your child utilize bus transportation. It is the safest and most efficient way to transport a student to school.
Thank you for your understanding
