Arrival/Dismissal Update






Olive Families,

As many of you know we are continually working to improve our loading zone procedures to ensure the safety of our Olive Community.  

After a recent consultation with the Arlington Heights Police Department we have discovered the need to limit the foot traffic on the sidewalk that runs along Olive Street and the Loading Zone, which crosses the entrance/exit for vehicles. We are thankful that so many families are walking their children to school and the amount of vehicle traffic has been at a minimum, but know that this will change later in the year.

We are asking all families that need to walk west before school and east after school to follow the sidewalk that runs the length of our field/blacktop or to cross at the cross walks and walk along the north side of Olive Street.  The exception to this would be those families that have legally parked their vehicles along Olive Street, between the parking sign and driveway.

We appreciate this means a few extra steps, but feel this will improve safety for our Olive students and families.  We could not undergo this massive construction project without the support and collaboration of all of you. Thank you for your support!
