๐Ÿš— LPS First Day of School Pick-Up & Drop-Off Reminders ๐Ÿš—

As you prepare for the first day of school, remember that traffic will be heavier across the city, and there will be both pedestrians and vehicles moving throughout our parking lot. Preparation is key to a successful first dayโ€”and it also helps us keep our campus safe and neighbor-friendly.

Here are a few important reminders:
โœ… Be courteous and respectful to others in the parking lot.
โœ… Do not block neighborhood drivewaysโ€”our residents need to get to and from work.
โœ… Driveline numbers will be handed out by staff during morning drop-off.
โœ… Student drop-off begins at 7:15 AM.
โœ… Follow all one-way signs for entering and exiting the parking lot. (See the included parking lot diagram.)

This information along with other important first day of school information is located on our website at www.lighthousesa.org,
