Dear Elkin City Schools Families, Staff and Community Members,

The safety of our students, staff, families, and the greater Elkin community remains our highest priority. To help ensure that emergency vehicles can quickly and safely respond to calls for service, changes have been made to our after-school dismissal traffic patterns.

Effective immediately, the following traffic restrictions will be enforced during afternoon dismissal:

> Elkin Elementary School: Vehicles waiting in the afternoon car line may not block traffic on Hwy 268 West at North Front Street to Old Virginia Road or in front of the Elkin Fire Department. Signage will be added to show a stopping point on North Front Street.

> Elkin Middle School and Elkin High School: Vehicles waiting in the afternoon car line may not block or park on the side of Elk Spur Street.

To help keep these roadways clear for emergency responders and ensure the safety for passing motorists, vehicles that are stopped or idling in these restricted areas before the dismissal bell at either school will be directed to move. Drivers who fail to comply may be subject to a traffic citation.

We ask that families plan to arrive within a reasonable time frame for dismissal. There is no need to arrive an hour or more before dismissal and wait in the roadway. Your cooperation helps keep traffic moving and ensures a safe dismissal for everyone.

We understand that dismissal can be a busy time, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement these changes. These measures are intended to ensure that firefighters, law enforcement, EMS personnel, and other emergency responders have immediate access to our schools and surrounding neighborhoods when every second matters.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us maintain a safe environment for our students, families, and community.

Sincerely,

Elkin City Schools
