title="Safety signs and procedures" href="http://www.safetysign.com/" target="_blank">safety procedures</a> in place to help with this.<span
id="more-573"></span></p><p>First, the school makes sure that parents and visitors know where they are and have an easy way to see where key buildings are located by having clearing marked <a
title="street signs help direct traffic" href="http://www.safetysign.com/Street+Signs.html" target="_blank">street signs</a> indicating direction of traffic flow and location of buildings.  This, of course, aids in efficient ingress and egress into the school.</p><p>Second,  once students, teachers, administrators, and visitors have found the correct building on campus, the school has adequate and clearing <a
title="parking signs give direction" href="http://www.safetysign.com/Parking+Signs%2C+Permits.html" target="_blank">parking signs </a> to indicate the legal, preferred, and safe areas for vehicles to park.  If different signs are used for visitors and employees, it helps with congestion.</p><p>Finally, the school uses high school students and teachers as patrols to 1) direct traffic, 2) provide direction to pedestrians for safe street crossings, 3) slow down traffic, and 4) aid students when entering or existing vehicles.</p><p>All of these procedures help our school take what could be a dangerous time each morning and afternoon and make it a fun and safe start and end of each school day.</p><p>The post <a
