Traffic & Safety Policy

VEHICLE TRAFFIC

It is very important that drivers use extreme caution around school and obey all posted traffic signs. It is essential that vehicles slow down in the area of the school and come to complete stops at all stop signs. Violators will be reported. Kolmar Avenue is a one-way street going south between the hours of 8:00-9:00 am and 2:30-4:00 pm. Both Kolmar and 105th Street are posted with “No Stopping, Standing, or Parking” signs in places that are necessary to allow buses access to and from the school – these signs should be obeyed.

Drivers should never pass a school bus when it is loading or unloading students. Any driver passing a bus with red lights flashing and the safety arm extended will be reported to the Oak Lawn Police. Drivers should also be considerate of the school’s Safety Patrol when present.

SCHOOL SECURITY

To ensure your child’s safety, ALL PARENTS AND VISITORS must enter the building at the main entrance (door 1) on Kolmar Avenue. Once in the school office, visitors will be asked to submit to an electronic check of a state ID or driver’s license. They will then be issued a visitor ID tag and lanyard. The state ID or driver’s license will be returned when the visitor leaves.
