Drive Aloha: Safe & Efficient After-School Pick-Up: Daily after-school traffic is particularly heavy on Market St. and Kaohu St. prior to the dismissal bell. With cars backing up in both directions, we appreciate your patience, courtesy to our neighbors, and commitment to keeping everyone safe. Please help us make pick-up smooth and efficient by following these simple tips:

• Remind Your Child: Talk to your child about watching for your car while waiting so they are ready to get in as soon as you arrive. If they walk home, remind them to always use crosswalks, stay on sidewalks, and obey all traffic signals.

• Pull All the Way Forward: Pull your vehicle as far forward in the pick-up line as possible before stopping to allow room for cars behind you.

• Drive with Care: Take extra caution around crosswalks and keep your speed low.

• Consider Other Options: To skip the heaviest traffic, try arriving 15–20 minutes after the dismissal bell, or arrange to safely meet your child a short walk off-campus.
