“KEEP US SAFE, PLEASE DON’T PARK HERE!”

It has come to the attention of our Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs) that drivers are parking on the access strip when dropping off or collecting their children from school.  This is the grassy area to the right of the drop off bay in front of the new gym hall.

This is very dangerous because to get to this spot, the cars have to be driven OVER the path where children might be walking! 

Toronto is very lucky to have streets all around our school where it is possible to park safely.  Our role as JRSOs is to promote road safety so we politely ask that you use one of these areas to park and walk the short distance to the school.  If you see someone parking on the access strip, it might be that they haven’t seen our message so please share it with them!

Our next job is to design banners for the railings in front of the bays reminding drivers that it is a drop off zone.  We will be asking taxi drivers not to park there.   Watch that space…they’ll be coming soon!

Thank you for helping us to keep the children of Toronto safe.
