We have ongoing and serious concerns with the dangerous flow of traffic in our Kiss and Drop area and on Ayer Ave in front of the school.

Please review these important traffic flow expectations:

• The entrance closest to the staff parking area is for ENTRY only.
• The KISS and DROP area is one-way and single-lane.  Please exercise patience and DO NOT pass vehicles that are waiting to drop off their precious cargo. 
• The entrance closest to the school is for EXIT only.  The LEFT lane is for turning LEFT or proceeding straight to Birchmount Ave. The RIGHT lane is for turning RIGHT only.

A reminder that it is against the law to pass a school bus when its red lights are flashing and the speed limit in a school zone is 30KM/HR.  We have requested the support of the RCMP to monitor the traffic issues and are aware of fines that have been issued.

The safety of our students and their families is very important to us.  As a community, we must work together to ensure that all of our students get to and from school safely every day.  Please speak to your neighbours to help spread the word.

Take Care,

Birchmount School Staff
