For the safety of our students and to keep traffic flowing smoothly, we need your help with afternoon pickup. We’ve noticed some vehicles being left unattended on Dascola Lane while parents walk up to the building. This creates unsafe congestion because Dascola is a narrow two-lane road and double-parking blocks traffic.
To keep everyone safe:
*Please do not leave your vehicle parked or unattended on Dascola Lane.
*If you are picking up your child, remain in your vehicle and follow the designated pickup line.
*Staff will be on hand to help keep traffic moving and ensure students get to their rides safely.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we work together to make dismissal as safe and efficient as possible for all families.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mike Walsh
Principal of Baldwin Heights Elementary
