As you have noticed we are having quite a bit of construction outside of our campus. The Knightdale Transportation Department is redoing our curb, drainage and adding a sidewalk that will connect Knightdale Blvd. with Edenburghs’ Keep Subdivision. This is excellent news since it will increase the amount of walkers to our school each day. Plus, it will help with the standing water during rainy days and increase the visual appeal of our school.
It still will not fix our delays during Carpool from parents insisting on turning left. Although I would love to enforce no left turns, I can’t based on town policy. I can plea with all parents to turn right and switching our Morning Carpool from the bottom of our campus to the top has decreased the number of accidents but it will need to be a community response to create a better flow.
Turning right isn’t just safer but it also reduces stress for all of us. Please turn right each afternoon and morning to increase the flow of our carpool. Not just for the ease of our carpool but for the safety of you and your children.
I also ask that all of you team up and not follow the one or two that decide to keep turning left. The more of us that turn right the better it will get. Talk to your neighbors and make sure they are turning right as well.
In the Spring as we look toward the next school year I will be developing a Safety Committee to further analyze our arrival and dismissal procedures. If you are interested in being a member of this committee please email me directly at [email protected] I am looking further into grant writing to support our school’s needs as well.
