Please discuss a safe route to school with your child and plan the route that is best for him/her to travel when walking or riding to school. Students who are transported to school by bus are expected to adhere to the IUSD rules governing bus riders and to conduct themselves in a safe and respectful manner at all times when they are on the bus.
Many parents choose to drive their children to school. It is imperative that drivers adhere to the following rules and the enclosed drop-off and pick-up procedures:
- Drivers are asked to respect the handicapped spaces. Do not park in them or block them in any way, unless you have the appropriate placard.
- Oak Creek has ample curbs for the dropping-off and the picking up of students. Cars may not be parked at those curbs for any length of time. You may use any of the empty spaces in the adjacent park, in the street, or unmarked spaces in school parking lot and walk your child safely onto school grounds.
- Please provide ample time for dropping off your child before school to alleviate undue stress for you and your child. Adult supervision is provided by Oak Creek staff from 8:00 am until the start of school. You are encouraged to drop your child off as early as 8:00 am in order to avoid the morning drop-off congestion.
