Morning Carline

Dear Parents,

I received a call from Captain Bridges with the Trussville Police Department today. He has asked for your help with keeping the traffic moving on Hwy. 11 in the mornings. When entering the campus, please remember that the two inside lanes should be utilized for drop off on the primary side of the campus. Please do not stop in the middle lane in an attempt to merge into the inside lane. Our crossing guards alternate opening the middle and inside lanes into the drop off loop, so when you are in the middle lane please continue to move forward. The traffic pattern was designed to fill both lanes in order to keep as much traffic off of the highway as possible, and our crossing guards do a great job of managing the flow. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
