Crosswalk:
The safest legal place to cross Dove Creek between Valley Oak and Royal Oak is the crosswalk highlighted in yellow below. Although this is already a lighted crosswalk, the City of Irvine also provides a crossing guard to attend to the safety of pedestrians who utilize this crossing area. Motorists are reminded that it is illegal to enter the crosswalk while the crossing guard is anywhere in the crosswalk
Primary Drop-Off and Pick-Up:
The green arrows below show the flow of traffic for motorists who are dropping off or picking up primary students (grades 1-3). The lighter green area shows where they may be dropped off or picked up along the sidewalk only (please do not allow your child to exit the vehicle while in the passing/exit lane). Kindergarten students’ parents must park on the street or in the lot and accompany their children to and from the classroom.
Upper Grade Drop-Off and Pick-Up:
The blue arrows and aqua lines below denote the appropriate flow of traffic and drop-off zone for parents of upper grade students. Students may be dropped off in either lane, but please note that students dropped in the middle lane MUST proceed to the crosswalk to get safely to the curb. Please also yield the right of way to the busses(shown in gold) as they are require to load and unload on this curb.
Because of the size of our school and the distance that our Spectrum residents must travel to get to our school, we are encouraging all students who live in the immediate vicinity to consider utilizing a mode of non-vehicular transportation (walking, bicycling, etc.) to get to and from school. Your cooperation with this request will help to ease the congestion on our streets and in our lots before and after school.
And finally, as a courtesy to the residents of our surrounding neighborhoods, please be considerate in your driving and parking practices. Please be mindful of your speed, observant of existing signage, and refrain from impeding access to or entering a gated neighborhood in which you do not reside. IPD traffic officers will be present occasionally throughout the year to “encourage and reinforce” your compliance and safe driving.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION WITH THESE GUIDELINES!
