Parking Changes

We accomplished many things in 2008 - 2009. We established a parking committee that met several times during the school year. This committee comprised of a Public Safety Officer, two officers from the Sheriff's Department, parents, teachers, and administration. We appreciated the communities input on our Parking Committee Survey. The committee was charged with trying to create safer parking situations before and after school. With 85% of parents being in agreement to drop and pick up their child(ren) at a designated gate that corresponds with specific grade levels, the teamed designed drop-off and pick-up points for each grade level. We know many families have several children at Gardenhill, so it is important to choose a drop-off and pick-up spot that is the safest for your family. We are asking that Kindergarten and First Grade Parents use Heflin Drive as their designated area for drop-off and pick-up. Second and Third Grade Students may be dropped off on Gardenhill Drive or in the parking lot on Gardenhill Drive. Fourth and Fifth Grade Students are asked to use Valeda Drive as their drop-off and pick-up points. Students may use the walkway ramp on Burgess/Valeda Drive and the back stairs on Valeda Drive to enter the campus. Also, the Heflin parking lot will now be reserved for Teacher parking and the Gardenhill parking lot will be for visitors. We thank you for you input in helping us design a safer parking situation at Gardenhill.
