Parking at W.T. Townshend Public School continues to be a safety concern.  Here are some reminders, please:

1. Do not enter the ring road or park in the school parking lot when dropping off or picking up students. There is only sufficient parking for the staff and supply staff.

2. Accessible Parking Permits may only be used when the person driving has the permit and is required to get out of their car. This would be the case when the permit holder must take their JK/SK child to the back playground or take a young child into the YMCA.

3. There is a city designated “No Parking” area immediately in front of the school on Activa Avenue. If you are parking your car and plan to walk your children to the school, please park on Activa Avenue, or one of the neighbouring streets, e.g. Berry Moss, which is almost across from the school, or use David Bergey Drive, which is around the corner.

4. Be respectful of other people’s property. Do not park in or block neighbour’s driveways. Police have needed to be involved in neighbour disputes over inconsiderate parking, resulting in disrespectful language in front of our students.

5. City By-law will ticket parking infractions.

For the safety of everyone, in particular our students, we respectfully request that everyone follow these expectations. We need your cooperation.
