Crossing at Arlington Heights Rd. & Olive St.

For those of you that take this route, you may be aware that the district has been working to refine crossing at this intersection due to the south Olive Street sidewalk being closed due to construction. The crossing guard supervisor and some district administrators have been out to view traffic in this area and determined the safest way to get everyone to and from school is to have families only cross Olive Street in the north crosswalk and only cross Arlington Heights Road in the west crosswalk. The crossing guard will only cross families in these two crosswalks so he can adequately supervise those that are crossing and those that are waiting. We are asking that families, even those with adult supervision, not cross in the other two crosswalks during arrival and dismissal as this can distract cars from paying attention to the crossing guard. We appreciate this means some families will need to slightly alter their routes to school, but it is just for this year and it ensures safety for all. We are already seeing that many families have figured out their new routes. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support of our construction project!
