This year there’s a safer way to drop off your children at Springville Junior High! Mr. Ken Van Ausdal, the principal of SJHS, and the School Community Council decided they needed a more organized, quicker, and safer way to drop off the students.
Here’s how it works: Parents pull into drop-off lane in front of the school, which is between the sidewalk and the yellow line, and students go right out onto the sidewalk. That way they’re not in danger of being hit by a car when their parents drop them off in the middle of the road.
It seems to work much better than the way it did last year. “It makes a much smoother flow. It’s quicker, and safer!” said Mr. Van Ausdal. Also, eighth grader JJ Walentine said, “It’s way less confusing than last year. People almost got hit several times.” We really appreciate the town’s effort to make a safer way for the students get to school.
