With the spring weather returning, it brings flowers, birds AND young drivers driving more recklessly than they typically do.
We need to tackle this as a school community.
Please help us reinforce these expectations with our CHS student athlete drivers as the season gets underway-
1. DRIVE SLOWLY on campus, Reynolds St., Vaugh St. and Cotter St.- We cannot emphasize enough that we must drive slowly in these areas. Even when we think we are driving slow enough in these areas, we really are not. The gas pedal should hardly be used in these areas. Driving faster than 15-20 mph is too fast. I drive in these areas all the time and have seen many close calls between cars and pedestrians....often small children. We need to do better. We need to be good neighbors.
2. Park in marked spots. Our campus is not that big. Parking on upper campus and walking to lower campus is EASY and takes a couple of minutes. Do that rather than making up your own spot.
3. Under no circumstance should you park on the "road" from upper campus to lower or between lower lot and the turf lot. Once you park there, it prevents two-way traffic.
4. Student athletes may not park in the 12 spots in the turf lot. Those are for coaches and spectators.
5. Spectators, please do not park in the "middle area" of the turf lot (near the fire lane). Once one person does, it starts a flurry of parking there....which always creates an unsafe situation in that lot.
Thank you Bulldogs! Let's keep our campus and neighbors safe!
