Hello El Oro Way Charter for Enriched Studies,
Yesterday afternoon at pick up, there was a VERY close call to a car hitting one our students.
We are ALL responsible for the safety around our campus.
The most impactful cause to this incident is the illegal parking. You are all asked to stop parking in all the red zones and especially the crosswalk. The school staff is not authorized to give tickets. When provided with verbal reminders that parking in the red and blocking the crosswalk is not legal, most violators merely excuse their act by saying that they are late and do not correct their behavior.
Also, all drivers are reminded to drive with extreme caution, especially when driving through the crosswalks that are blocked and small children are hidden from view.
If you do not directly drop off and pick up your child, please forward this important information to caregivers - baby sitters, relatives such as grandparents - to immediately improve the safety around our school.
