Safety: Driving and Parking

The OES parking lots and driveways are congested areas that are shared by both vehicles and pedestrians. To make the campus as safe as possible, please drive slowly (10 mph) and with caution. Always yield to foot traffic.
Parking and standing is prohibited at all times along red curbs, and at other areas as marked. Standing is allowed along yellow curbs marked as drop-off and pick-up zones, if the driver remains with the vehicle. Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in yellow zones, even if you intend to be there for "only a minute"—it disrupts the flow of loading and unloading.

Each division has specific guidelines regarding drop-off, pickup, and parking. Please refer to the appropriate sections in this handbook for details appropriate to you.

To ensure the safety of our children and families, as well as families in the Montclair neighborhood, please strictly observe the 25 mph speed limit on Nicol Road. As we wish to be good neighbors, we ask that you not cut through the neighborhood by using Willowmere Drive or Westgate Way.
