With school picking up, Taylorville School District along with the Taylorville Police Department and the Student Resource Officers are reminding the public about being safe during pick up and drop off. The use of crosswalks is encouraged as this will allow both pedestrians to safely cross the street and for motorists to navigate the road safely. Cutting between vehicles or crossing the street during peak pick-up/drop-off time can cause traffic issues. 

At North Elementary, there is a parent zone for those who walk to pick up students.  The school asks that you wait in that zone until all classes have been dismissed.  When you cross between classes, students can get confused and wander away from their line.  Once all classes are out, you can walk to the line and pick up your student.

For those who may not know there is a YouTube video that you can watch to learn more about pick-up and drop-off routines. You can find that video by clicking here.
