Parking Lot Regulations
Pre-Kindergarten ~ Pré-maternelle

PROCEDURES

1. When you enter the school parking lot you must follow the counter clockwise flow which is laid out by our parking lot supervisors. Do not attempt to drive in any other direction.

2. If the parking lot is full, please leave the school lot and proceed to the upper church parking lot.

3. In the morning the drop-off/pick-up zone is to be utilized strictly for dropping off children, no delayed stops are allowed.

4. After school, if your child/ren is already standing at the yellow curb, waiting for you, you may drive into the pick-up zone and immediately pick them up and proceed cautiously out of the pick-up zone. If your child/ren is/are not standing at the yellow curb waiting for you, do not pull into the pick-up zone. Absolutely no waiting or socializing in the pick-up zone is permitted.

5. If your child/ren is/are waiting for you at the yellow curb and there is no immediate room for you to pull over, DO NOT stop and pick them up while you are in the mainstream of traffic. Please instruct your children at home on this important safety point. This is extremely dangerous for the children and most inconsiderate for the drivers behind you. You will have to circle the lot until there is an available space to pull into. If everyone obeys the rules a spot should free up very soon. We would, however, like drivers to avoid constant circling in the lot and encourage them to park and escort their children to their vehicle.

6. We have a handicap parking space at the end of the drop-off/pick-up zone, next to the staff parking lot. Please ensure that it is left available to those who need it.

7. There is no parking in front of the chain closing of the fire lane running along side of Fatima center. It is also not a drop off area. This area is an emergency entrance and exit.

8. Our parking lot supervisors have a difficult job trying to uphold the rules of our parking lot. Their job is strictly a volunteer position and we very much appreciate all their efforts. We expect all drivers to respect their position and cooperate. If drivers have questions or concerns or don't agree with our system, do not go to our supervisors. They are simply following our instructions. Please direct your concerns to the Education Committee in a letter.

9. We all share the same priority with regard to the parking lot. We are all concerned for the safety of the children. Most drivers are very cooperative and we thank them. For the very small minority who do not follow our regulations we may record license plate, car make and colour and publish these items in our school Communiqué. If you see your license number published, please ensure you review and follow the policy. Remember the safety of the children comes first.
