DRIVELINE
During the AM and PM driveline please make sure to use your blinker as you are entering and exiting the curb line. It greatly helps our driveline staff, the family’s walking along the driveline, and those trying to cross the street at the end of the driveline. We appreciate your partnering as we try to load kids as quickly and safely as possible.
