Pick-up and Drop-off Expectations
Over the past few weeks, the school has received a number of complaints from neighbors of our two campuses. A reminder for all parents that parking on/blocking sidewalks or driveways is not only unsafe, but unfair to our neighbours. The school prides itself on being a good neighbour to all and expects our parents and students to do the same at all times during pick-up and drop-off.
For Middle and Senior School parents, the school suggests using alternative routes than Farnham and Woodlawn as it will make it less congested and safer for all members of our community.
For our Junior School parents, it is a privilege to use the Yorkminster Church parking lot for pick-up and drop-off. Please be respectful and obey the signs and expectations of the church. Also - do not block the driveway of 2 Glen Elm on Yonge St. when picking-up or dropping-off and be exceptionally careful with the Yonge St. bike lanes.
Thank you to all members of our community for being safe and being good neighbours.
