Safety Reminder
5/13/2018 10:28 pm
The area around our school gets very congested at the beginning and the end of the day, but we all need to make sure to follow the laws when walking and driving in order to keep our community safe. A few reminders:
- Use a designated crosswalk when coming to and from school. It is dangerous to cross Sydenstricker in front of the school especially during pickup and dropoff.
- Do not park in the no parking zone along Huntsman.
- Follow posted speed limits.
If you see unsafe behavior (speeding, not yielding to pedestrians, jaywalking, etc.), get as much information about the person or vehicle (description, car make, model and license) and call the police non-emergency line at 703-691-2131 or contact the PTA safety committee at safety@orangehuntpta.org. Thank you!!
