• Drop-Off and Pick-Up Patterns and Rules
    Again this year we all need to work together to make sure that our students get to and from school safely. We request that you encourage your kids to walk or ride the bus.

    Our traffic situation could be improved significantly if other available modes of transportation were used. If, however, you choose to drive your children to school, it is imperative that you refrain from double-parking or allowing our students to run between cars to get into an awaiting car in the traffic flow lane. We appreciate your patience and concern for safety at Basha.
     

    Be considerate of our neighbors and do not park in areas clearly marked as “No Parking” zones. We recognize that finding parking can often be a challenge, but ask you to take the time to find safe parking for your children and vehicle. The Chandler Police Department has in the past and will again in the future issue citations to vehicles parked illegally.

     

    Below are procedures that have been in place since the beginning of the school year. Please refer to these procedures if you have any questions regarding traffic flow.

     

    • SLOW DOWN … in the drive-through lane, on Basha Rd. and on Sandpiper Rd. Speed bumps have been added in the school lanes to remind you to keep your speed low when on school property.
    • When traveling south on Basha Rd. left turns are permitted for the parking lot area only. If you are picking up or dropping off a student, you must be in a single file line along the curbside. No ‘cutting’ into the curbside line; that is, no left turns from Basha Rd. or coming straight across the street at Barberry to enter into the curbside pick-up lane.
    • Parents that would like to PARK and WALK their children to school may park in the lot. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK IN THE LOT waiting for your child to come to you. Students must be accompanied by an adult when coming and going from the parking lot. Please use the marked crossing lane when crossing to the school sidewalks.
    • Handicap parking is only for those vehicles that have a handicap parking sticker/emblem/license plate. Please do not pull into these spots…even for a minute or because the lot is full.
    • When dropping off or picking up students please pull as far forward as possible in order to let the most cars into the line and off the street. Your child will be helped into the car at that point by the safety patrol.
    • Kindergarten pick-up and drop-off may use either flow lane to get to the pick-up area in the back of the school. The Kindergarten Drop-off/Pick-up area is for the use of the Kindergarten parents only. Please make sure your yellow Kindergarten Pass is clearly displayed. Remember to watch for students crossing the traffic lanes.
    • Please have your students ALWAYS use crosswalks! There are now four crosswalks staffed with crossing guards for your safety and convenience.
    • Please abide by ALL street signs adjacent to the school. The Chandler Police will issue citations to cars parked illegally.
