Construction and ongoing site work has resulted in the need to alter traffic patterns at the high school. As of September, the front traffic circle will no longer be available for use. This development will affect school bus drivers, students, staff and parents.
“Even with the availability of the front entrance circle, traffic congestion between 7:15-8:00 a.m. has been an issue at the high school,” said Assistant Principal Mark Treanor. “Safety is our primary concern.”
This concern has prompted school officials to establish new traffic patterns for entering and exiting the high school campus that are outlined below:
• All student traffic is to use the Balltown Rd. entrance for arrival and departure. The student parking lot will remain available, however, there will no longer be through traffic allowed from one parking lot to the other.
• Parents dropping off students will use the Balltown Road entrance, turn left at the stop sign and drop off students by the pool entrance. Parents are asked to loop around and leave via Balltown Rd.
•Parents wishing to drop off students for music will use the Balltown Rd. entrance. Those parents will be allowed to turn right at the stop sign and proceed to the music doors. A loop will be provided at the door so that traffic will continue around and exit via Balltown Rd.
•Selected staff may use the Balltown Rd. entrance and park in the upper tennis courts in the visitor parking areas.
•The Nott St. entrance will be limited to school bus and staff parking ONLY. Sections of this lot will be re-marked to indicate new traffic flow. The goal is to maximize parking availability, provide for a safe pick up and departure for students and reduce congestion, particularly in the morning. A traffic loop for buses and staff cars will be marked for easy exit via Nott St.

These traffic changes will continue throughout 2007-08.
