Dear Northside Families,We know the start of the school year will look a little different with the new construction and traffic patterns. To help everyone better understand the flow of traffic for both morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, we’ve created short videos that walk you through each plan.
👉 Morning Drop-Off Plan Video
👉 School Parking Lot Drop-Off Line Video – This video shows what the morning drop-off line looks like in our school parking lot.
👉 Afternoon Pick-up Plan Video

We encourage you to watch these videos and, if you are still unsure, consider driving the route over the weekend so you feel prepared for the first day of school on Tuesday.
A few important reminders:

• Students cannot be dropped off before 7:30 a.m. There is no staff available for supervision before that time.
• Safety is our top priority. Please follow all posted signs, crossing guards, and staff directions.
• Patience is key. With construction, traffic will be heavier—plan ahead and give yourself extra time.
• If you would like to park and walk your child in on the first day of school, please plan to park at the fairgrounds and use the designated crosswalks.

We know this is a big change, and we truly appreciate your flexibility, cooperation, and commitment to keeping our students safe.
Thank you,
Nicole Ruegsegger
Interim Principal, Northside Elementary
