Safety and Transportation

~~~

Please be aware that the NYPD will be conducting a random ticket blitz at IS 24. We do not know when they will be coming. These ticket blitz are NO TOLERANCE and anyone violating the law will be ticketed.

We are asking for your cooperation in keeping all 1600 students/staff safe during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal.

Students should only cross the street at the corners of;

• Durant and Cleveland Avenue, Nash and Cleveland Avenue, Hillside Terrace and Durant Ave

• NEVER CROSS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET

• ALWAYS EXIT THE CAR ON THE CURB SIDE OF THE STREET

• There is a NO PARKING/STANDING ZONE surrounding the school.

• Please drop your child off and go

• Please do not double or triple park

• Please do not block driveways

• Please do not make illegal u-turns or back up

• Please remind your child not to walk between the buses

• Please do not drop off in the yellow school bus drop off zone

Remember

• It is the law to come to a full stop when buses have their stop signs out and flashing

• Drive slowly and cautiously, you never know when a child decided to run into the street

• If children are waiting at the corner please allow them to cross the street safely

• If you are asked to move your car by an administrator or staff member, please do so, REMEMBER they are ensuring the safety of the children

• Cell phones are not to be used during driving

Consider dropping off your child a block away from school so that you don't have to wait for the school bus to pull in the flashing sign.

Leave home a few minutes earlier to compensate for any delay die to traffic and pedestrian tie-up by the school.

On day of inclement weather, students should enter the school by the auditorium doors located by the flag pole on Durant Avenue.

Thank you in advance for assisting IS 24 in providing a safe environment for all our children.
