Traffic Flow and Parking

Thank you for your ongoing assistance during our busy parking lot times. Please review the following information regarding our parking/pick-up/drop-off procedures: 

EC playground is reserved for Kindergarten to Grade 2 students until 3:15.
Parents: please wait
for your child outside the school playground fence. 

VCS Crosswalk

Students, parents and caregivers must use the crosswalk only when walking to and from our parking lot to our campuses. Our parking lot is busy and this ensures the safety of all our students and families. This also helps establish safe routines for students when they walk to and from the parking to the campuses by themselves. Please follow the directions of our parking lot attendants.
