Traffic Safety and Valet Procedures

Please respect traffic rules and regulations for the safety of our children, staff, and parents.  

Kenter Traffic Safety Guidelines: 

FOR EVERYONE:

• No parking in red zones or in front of fire hydrants, not even for a minute. This is the law.
• No parking anywhere in the main loop! Spots are reserved for staff and our auction winners. The curb is painted red!  Again...this is the law!!!
• The North loop parking is for staff only. Parents, please DO NOT PARK in the staff parking lots. Parking and walking the children through the parking lot is NOT SAFE. 
• The North loop can be used to drive through, making a U-Turn instead of making a Three-Point turn on Kenter Avenue. 

• If you are walking your child in, please do not block/stand in front of the gate entrance. Our littlest students who are being dropped off need a clear path to get into the gate safely
• If you are using Valet, please pull your car ALL the way forward to the end of the cones before stopping to let your child out
• Drivers should STAY in the cars. Our volunteers can help get your children and backpacks out of the car and can help unbuckle car seats if needed!

 

Main Loop Gate:

• If you use Valet, please pull ALL the way forward, to the end of VALET before your child/children exit the car.  
• Drivers should STAY in the cars. Our volunteers can help get your children and backpacks out of the car and can help unbuckle car seats if needed!
• Do NOT stop your car in front of the Main Office, this ultimately blocks KENTER Ave. and the entire loop.  

 

South Yard Gate:

• Please do NOT make U-Turns from Homewood, it is unsafe as our students cross in our cross walk.

  

 

Our Student Council leads the KIDS program: Kenter Inspires Driver Safety.  See below to learn how to support this very important initiative. We appreciate your cooperation with following traffic safety expectations and supporting our Student Council efforts.
