Adrian R-III Families,
As construction continues on campus, we have made a few temporary traffic adjustments to help keep everyone safe during student drop-off and pick-up. Please review the attached map before arriving.
Important Changes:
* 🚧 Ohio Avenue and Missouri Avenue will be closed during morning drop-off. Only Ohio will be closed for afternoon pick-up to improve traffic flow.
* 🚗 Student Drop-Off: Please pull forward from the Elementary Office entrance before allowing students to exit. We ask that students be dropped off up to two car lengths forward from the entrance. Please do not let students out near the staff parking area.
* ⏰ If you arrive early, please park along the left (south) side of Hazel Street until traffic begins moving. This helps keep staff parking accessible as employees arrive.
* 🅿️ Student drivers should follow the cyan route shown on the map to access student parking.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we work through construction. A few extra seconds of patience from each driver will help keep traffic moving safely and make arrival smoother for everyone.
Thank you for helping us keep our students, families, and staff safe!
