Traffic Reminders

Hello McSwain Families,

 

I hope you are well. Please review the traffic reminders below to help keep arrival and dismissal safe and orderly for everyone.

 

Law enforcement routinely assists with traffic enforcement around our campuses to support student safety and ensure drivers follow traffic laws. Please follow designated traffic patterns, posted signs, and staff directions at all times.

 

These procedures help protect our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and continued partnership in keeping McSwain safe.

 

Best,
Mr. Pannu
Superintendent

Drop-Off & Pick-Up Reminders

Drop-Off

    • Grades TK–3: West Campus drop-off zone
    • Grades 4–8: East Campus drop-off zone
    • Students on both campuses: Drop off at West Campus. A crossing guard will assist older students in crossing to East Campus.
  • All students crossing Scott Road must use the designated crosswalk.
  • Parents/guardians should remain in their vehicles.
  • Pull all the way forward and have students exit from the passenger side.
  • West Campus: Enter from Highway 140 onto Scott Road.
  • East Campus: Enter from Vaughn Avenue onto Scott Road.

 

Please follow these designated routes when dropping off students. 

  • Do not drop off students along Scott Road. Doing so creates unnecessary safety concerns, traffic congestion, and confusion during morning drop-off.

 

Left turns into either campus from the opposite side of the street can also contribute to traffic backups and confusion. Following the designated direction of travel and using the designated drop-off zones helps keep traffic moving safely and efficiently for everyone.

 

  • Campus opens to students at 7:30 a.m.

Afternoon Pick-Up: Grades TK-3

  • Enter West Campus from Vaughn Avenue, turn onto Scott Road, and enter the parking lot.
  • TK/K: Library gates
  • Grades 1-3: Front office gate
  • West Campus siblings: Pick up together at the library gate.
  • Exit via Scott Road and Vaughn Avenue.

Afternoon Pick-Up: Grades 4-8

  • Travel down Gurr Road, turn right onto Vaughn Avenue, and join the pick-up line.
  • Vehicles will enter the East Campus parking lot beginning at dismissal time.
  • Remain in your vehicle. Staff will ask for your student's name and bring your student to you.
  • Exit toward Highway 140.

Students on Both Campuses

Students will not be escorted between campuses during afternoon dismissal. 

 

To pick up your child, please either remain in your vehicle and follow the established pickup route or park in a designated parking area and walk to the pickup location to meet your child.

 

Students may not walk to a parked vehicle unaccompanied. A parent or guardian must accompany them.

 

On a regular bell schedule school day, after picking up your West Campus student, please exit and follow the designated route to join the East Campus pick-up line.

 

Please refer to the traffic maps for the designated routes.
