Carpool UpdateThank you for your patience with the increase in traffic volume under Plan A. Please take note of Carmel's unique traffic pattern.
During afternoon dismissal, we have noticed cars are parking opposite the sidewalk on Camilla Drive, as well as down Lori Lane. Parking in these areas causes students to cross traffic through an unsupervised area to get to their parents. This is not safe for our students. Parking is only permitted on the sidewalk side of Camilla Drive. Please the see carpool graphic.
