Promote Safety, Prevent GridlockTo all families and their designated drivers: Safety is our top priority! The school has two full-time security guards who monitor pedestrian and vehicular traffic at arrival and dismissal times. In addition, Mr. Farley is the crossing guard at the corner of Highland St. and Loomis Place. Please respect their efforts to direct traffic and keep things safe and observe the following rules:
All children who ride buses to Foote will be dropped off and picked up at the circle in the Canner Street parking lot. Help Us Be Good Neighbors When parking on Loomis Place, use the school side of the street, and be mindful of driveways and street signs. Our school is located in a residential neighborhood; please help us to be good neighbors when parking on Loomis Place, and be especially mindful for weekend and evening events. (One neighbor is wheelchair bound; others must park at least one car on the street.) Final note: The residential side requires a sticker and parking there may result in a ticket or towing.
