Dear Parents, This message is for all car rider parents. You may have noticed that “No Parking” signs have been installed along the entrance to New River Primary School and around the car rider loop. These signs mean that parents may not arrive early and park or block the roadway or the entrance to the car rider lane. Despite multiple requests, some parents have been arriving as early as one hour before dismissal. Please be reminded that car rider pickup begins at 3:15 PM, and parents should not arrive before this time. Early arrival creates several serious concerns: • It blocks access to the school, which has already caused issues on two occasions when emergency vehicles needed to enter campus. • It disrupts instruction, particularly for Kindergarten students, who see parked cars outside their classrooms and believe it is time to go home while instruction is still taking place. To ensure student safety and maintain an effective learning environment, please do not arrive before 3:15 PM. If someone else picks up your child, be sure to share this information with them as well. We appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and support in keeping our students safe and minimizing disruptions to learning. Sincerely, New River Primary School Staff
