Morning Traffic

Good morning,

Both Monday and Tuesday appeared to be a an easier drop off in the morning with the opening of Patten Rd.  Hardtford Rd. was much less congested than in the past. Our traffic person at the corner of Cold Spring Rd. and Patten Rd. reported that he was done 5-6 minutes earlier on both days.

With today's weather there was increased traffic volume.  It appeared that more parent/guardians chose to drive their student to school today instead of having them wait in the rain for a bus.  That is completely understood, however, my recommendation is to give yourself a little more time with inclement weather.  

We also had police presence at the end of Patten Rd. today to monitor speed.  We are very concerned about the safety for the residents of Patten Rd. and all drivers.  So please follow the speed limit.  The WPD will take notice and may write citations based on traffic violations.  

SRO Geoff Pavao and I will be outside monitoring traffic each morning.  Please be sure to pull up to the DROP OFF ZONES behind the school.  Please DO NOT drop off to the left of the school where it is clearly marked "NO DROP OFF ZONE".  

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to make the morning drop off a better experience.

Respectfully,  Jim Antonelli
