Hi Colts,

I want to make you aware of a significant change coming on Park Row that affects students parking and being dropped off at the MAC.

Starting Monday, 9/16/24, there will be only one lane open for eastbound traffic on Park Row. Additionally, there will be only one entrance to the MAC from Park Row. Please see the attached map for clarity.

Students will need to enter the MAC parking lot from the West entrance only. They will be able to exit the parking lot from both exits.

We will have a police officer directing traffic to help keep everyone safe. Please do not drop your students off in the construction zone.

I know this is going to be another hardship for our campus and I appreciate your help and support throughout this entire endeavor. Please be safe drivers and manage your emotions while dropping off students. Also, remind your students to do the same and manage their emotions while driving. Angry and impatient drivers are extremely dangerous to our students. 

You will have to wait in a line. You will want to move along when others are moving slowly. Just take a breath. Do not honk, yell, or be aggressive. One of the most dangerous things I see is speeding into the parking lot because you are late, or speeding out of the parking lot after you drop off your student. Slow down. I know some of our kids are going to be bad drivers and I'll work on them. But parents, I'm asking you all to drive like responsible adults. You have the capacity to manage emotions better than a teenager. Please use that capacity each morning and afternoon.

I truly appreciate the support of our community. Things continue to challenge us, but we will get through it and be better then before. My hope is that this project makes us more patient, more community oriented, and more grateful. I can already see that happening and we'll keep growing throughout.

*My email is extremely full at this time. If you have any questions that need immediate attention, please email your student's AP, counselor, or Ms. Avila (my secretary).*

Have a great rest of your weekend, Colts!

Sincerely,

Stacie Humbles, Principal
