PJHS Parents and Guardians:
Thank you for such a smooth drop off and pick up on Friday. Traffic at the junior high flower smoothly and quickly, and we thank you for following procedures so well.
One reminder - please refrain from using the bus exchange (north parking lot) to drop your children off. We want to keep that area completely clear for bus traffic.
Thank you for your help as we transition to having three buildings on one campus!
First, thank you to all community members for your patience on Friday during drop off and pick up. Reminder. High School traffic should flow onto School Drive from 7th St. Please abide by the following adjustments as we continue to refine the process to make it as efficient as possible. The North lot in front of the high school is for student parking. Do not use the lot for pick up or drop off. Please do not arrive early and park in the circle drive for pick up. Parked cars back up traffic and congest School Drive. Thank you for helping us make drop off and pick up as efficient as possible.
Pana Elementary School will be making a few subtle changes before this week’s arrival and dismissal. (3 photos in post)
1) There will be 2 lines of traffic (as shown in the photos) for arrival and dismissal. These lines of traffic will merge once near the school. These lanes will be coned off.
2) It is recommended that when exiting PES onto Panther Drive any traffic that decides to go LEFT onto Chestnut (north) should take a RIGHT onto 9th street (towards Pana Community Hospital) in order to avoid heavy traffic. This is shown in a photo below.
3) During dropoff, traffic should pull all the way forward towards the playground at PES until stopped by a staff member.
4) At pickup, 2nd-5th grade parents should be prepared to share the name of their student/teacher’s name to PES staff members assisting with dismissal.
Thank you for your continued patience and focus on student safety during this exciting transition into the new building!
