Use of the Johnson Elementary front loop for drop off and dismissal is being carefully reviewed by the administration and PRO Hamrick. Due to numerous incidences over the past few weeks, we feel it is necessary to make modifications both now and for the next school year. To get us through March, April and May, let us review the protocols currently in place:
The front loop serves as the bus lane.
No car can pass a bus with lights on in the parking lot for any reason.
No cars are to park anywhere along the front loop during dismissal.
A few limited vehicles have passes indicating permission to use our three reserved spots. If those spots are full, those drivers must use the main lot.
A few additional drivers drop kids off at alternate doors in the mornings. These are known.
Next school year, to prevent any confusion, the entire front lot will be off limits. Unfortunately, these graces have been misunderstood and, in many cases, misused. The only way to ensure the safety of all students is to institute a complete block off of this area. Reminders will go out in August. If you have any questions, please call PRO Hamrick at (304) 326-7135 or Mrs. Holbert at (304) 326-7117.
