No stopping in the bus loop

There have been some concerns about the safe use of the bus loop at the back of Clairlea during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. It can be a dangerous spot, so I will summarize the information handed out by the Safe and Caring School Committee last week. (And thank you for the hot chocolate, that was a nice way of "sweetening" your message!)

1. NO STOPPING OR UNLOADING IN THE BUS LOOP. You have to park in one of the parking spots while your children get out of the car. The bus loop is just so you can turn around safely and exit the parking lot. Only buses should unload in the loop. 

2. NO WALKING THROUGH THE BUS LOOP. (I admit, our family is guilty of this.) There's too much traffic and too many people in a hurry. It's not safe. Walk on the path to the north and around the outside of the fence. 

3. If the bus loop is busy, PARK ON THE STREET. Both Knightsbridge and Karnwood allow parking in the morning.
