Briggs Elementary Arrival & Dismissal Information

Briggs families, please review the updated arrival and dismissal information below as we continue to navigate construction around the building. Thank you in advance for your patience, flexibility, and attention to these safety procedures.

**Bus & Shuttle Information**

* Students riding the shuttle bus to the Briggs area will remain on the bus and will be taken to the old hospital parking lot across from Hospice near 611 W. Quarry Street.
* Students will not get off the bus at Briggs.
* Parents picking up students who ride the shuttle should meet them at the old hospital parking lot.
* Briggs students who need to meet siblings at the old hospital parking lot may either walk the approximately block-and-a-half distance or ride the shuttle bus to that location.

**Parent Drop-Off & Pick-Up**

* Families dropping off or picking up students at Briggs should use Short Street or Apple Street.
* Please do not use Fifth Street in front of the school entrance for drop-off or pick-up.
* Fifth Street will be reserved as the bus zone from 7:40–8:10 a.m. and 3:00–3:30 p.m.

Please continue to follow all posted traffic signs, construction barriers, and staff directions, and allow a little extra time as everyone becomes familiar with the new routines.

Thank you for helping us keep arrival and dismissal safe and organized for all students. We appreciate your partnership and flexibility during construction!
