HAPPY SPIRIT WEEK EVERYONE! GO STAGS!

08/27/2021

This afternoon, during student pick-up, there was a traffic collision on 17a at the intersection of 17a and Martin Luther King Dr, right in front of Moncks Corner Medical Center.

There are a number of vehicles that leave the school and make an illegal U Turn at that intersection to head south on 17a because you can only turn right out of Berkeley Middle School Bucks. The traffic is directed that way for safety. Making a U Turn at this intersection causes a slow in traffic and can put yourself and your child in harm's way.

If you need to go south on 17a, here a few options you can take:

1) Go to Martin Luther King Dr and turn right. If you follow this road to South State Bank you will run into North 52 and then turn right. From here, there are many roads that cross back over to 17a before you get to US Hwy 52.

2) Go to the intersection of 17a and North 52 and turn right after Walgreens, which will, again, put you on North 52 where you can use the roads that connect back to 17a.

3) Pull into McDonald's, grab your kiddo an after-school treat, and then go out the opposite end and turn right. You guessed it, this will put you on North 52.

If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or stop me while you waiting in that sweet sweet afternoon pick-up line!

Thank you for you cooperation and understanding.

Attention! Traffic Pattern Change for Berkeley Middle School: Effective 08/17/2021

In order to minimize the impact on the commuters who are not going to the middle school the Moncks Corner Police Department, in coordination with Berkeley Middle School Bucks , have changed the traffic pattern for pick-up and drop-off.

From 7:00am to 8:15am and 2:30pm to 4:00pm there will be no left turns made into BMS from Rt 17a. If you are coming in from North Hwy 52 continue past 17a and take a right onto Wall St. Do not utilize Grace St for pick-up/drop-off. Grace St is strictly for School Buses during this time. Once on Wall St you will then turn right onto Cooper St which will bring you back out to 17a and the line will continue from there.

If you normally arrive at the school coming from the south on 17a your traffic pattern will not change.

Do not block the intersection of any streets or the entrances to the school. First and foremost, that is the law. Second, blocking an intersection, especially the ones highlighted on the map, will delay the buses from getting in and out of the school and back to their routes.


Lastly, we ask that all drivers be kind and courteous to those around them. Remember all the other cars will have someone else’s child in them too.

Thank you all for your cooperation and patience!
