As the district continues to work closely with the municipality, FRPS has been notified that traffic congestion on Sardis Road during dismissal is causing several safety concerns. Today, I’m asking for your help and support to ensure all of our learners arrive home efficiently by following the guidelines below:

• Do not arrive before 3:15 p.m. Early arrivals create significant traffic backups on Sardis Road and could create unsafe conditions.

• Plan to arrive between 3:15–3:40 p.m. for student pickup.

• Panther Shuttle families: If you are picking up a student arriving from the Intermediate School, please do not arrive before 3:25 p.m. to allow for shuttle transition and reduce congestion.

• Remain in your car at all times. School staff will assist students as needed.

• Stay alert and close to the car in front of you to use all available space while waiting in line to keep traffic moving efficiently.

By committing to the guidelines above, our school helps support student and community safety while being a good neighbor to those who travel on Sardis Road. We will continue to monitor dismissal procedures and, if traffic congestion does not improve, the school may transition to restricting access to the school’s entrance until 3:15 p.m.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping make dismissal safe, smooth, and stress-free for everyone during the 26–27 school year.

Sincerely,

Lauren Reiber

Primary School Principal
