Ballard School District

NOTICES...NOTICES...NOTICES...

Parents who have children in the Ballard School system and use the “Drop Off” zone in front of Ballard Jr/Sr High. This area is for the dropping off or picking up of students only. At no time should anyone be parking in that area for any length of time. I have noticed and have had complaints about people parking there especially during activities at the high school and after school hours. We will be working with the school getting more signs at the locations to remind persons not to park there. We have also added the “No U Turn” signs at both ends of the drop off area. Please be aware that “U Turns” can only be done at intersections and not in the middle of the street.

This also brings up parents picking up children and using the 3C’s driveway to do this. The City does not mind parents using the parking lot to pick up their children after school. It does become a problem when parents and several at a time, park right in the drive for 5, 10, 15 minutes or more and wait for the kids. It is a safety issue for kids and adults walking in between cars to get to the parking lot. I am asking all parents to please continue to use this area to pick up your children but to park in a parking stall in the actual parking lot itself. Do not use the driveway.
