As I walked into the school yesterday morning, ready to start a bright new year and really start making the new building into the South Middle School, I was greeted by a sunrise that could only presage good days ahead.
It was so wonderful to have students in the building yesterday, introducing themselves & going on tours, moving into lockers, and walking through their schedule. Follow South Middle School @SMSBraintree on Twitter and Instagram to see memories throughout the year!TRAFFIC: What we learned
We learned a lot with our first drop-off in the front driveway loop!
- There is space for 2 lanes.
- Students can only unload from the right lane onto the sidewalk. After unloading, cars may pull into the left lane and proceed slowly and cautiously forward; always check over your left shoulder before pulling away from the curb. Staff are also driving through the left lane at this time.
- Please hug the right curb as you pull in, in order to leave room for traffic to depart.
- Pull all the way down to the end of the sidewalk in front of the building. As soon as you're over the speed bump, students can start unloading. (They may need to walk about 50' into the building, but I have confidence they can make it!)
- Some folks dropped students off along Peach St. This is done at your own risk, but students can feel free to walk across the "front lawn" of the old building (what used to be the old "island"; that driveway is closed for the year, so it's safe! It's also the easiest way to access the sidewalk down to our new building.)
- Please remain with your vehicle if you're parked in the driveway loop.
- If you want to walk down toward the front entrance, please pull into a parking space.
Thank you all for being patient and considerate of your fellow drivers while we are all learning the new routine!
