Superintendent's Letter to Families – Covid 19 Update

Please find the attached Covid 19 Update Letter to families from the District Superintendent.

 

Finally - Traffic Safety and Back Parking Lot Reminder

Drop off and Pick Up are an ongoing safety concern. I'm asking that parents please be mindful of the following to ensure the safest conditions for our students and children:

 

1. Use the designated crosswalks. This includes adults.

2. Slow down. School zones are 30km/hr.

3. No U-Turns. Please do not pull U-Turns in front of the school for any reason at any time. It is illegal to do a U-Turn on any road in Coquitlam unless designated.

4. Please keep the Quick Drop Off and Pick Up Zone quick! The by-law states that you have 3 minutes and other people are waiting their turn. We also want to avoid cars swerving around one another.

5. Give pedestrians the right of way. It's the law. This includes at the crosswalks on Poirier and Schoolhouse.

6. Obey the street signs. DO NOT park where there are no parking signs.

 

Attached is some information about the back parking lot and some courteous habits to make traffic flow smooth for drop off and pick up.​
