Safety Issue on Stonebridge Creek
In order to keep our students safe and show respect for
our neighbors on Stonebridge Creek we ask that you use
the designated drop-off and pick-up locations each day.
If you still find it necessary to park on Stonebridge Creek
we ask that you please observe the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Drive slowly and carefully watching for students
and parents as they cross the street.
Park only on the side of the street next to the
school parking lot and not in front of the houses.
Park only in the direction of the traffic – not
against the flow.
Do not block driveways.
Do not park on the grass.
Always walk on the sidewalk once on school
property and do not cut across the parking lot.
Our number one concern is the safety and well-being of
our students and community. Thank you for helping to
keep our Fall Creek Family and community safe. Please
feel free to contact the school if you have any questions,
concerns or suggestions.
2nd grade parents:
We don't want to BUG you, but we need your help with
the 2nd grade Bugz musical. If you are able to
help, contact Pilar Collazo at: [email protected]
