Traffic
The safety of all citizens is first and foremost. Exercise the following precautionary measures when dropping off or picking up your child. Follow a CLOCKWISE TRAFFIC PATTERN around Oakman during drop off and pick up.
- Allow adequate travel time and observe the posted speed limit, SLOW DOWN!
- Do not park and/or leave your car unattended in the drop off zone. Do not make U-TURNS in the middle of the street it is illegal and dangerous.
- Make arrangements with your child to pick them up in the same place every day.
- Encourage your child to use the crosswalk when crossing the street.
