DearParentsofStudentsEnteringThroughGates1,7,and5,
6September2024
Thank you for sharing your traffic concerns with us — we share the same concerns and appreciate your continued support as we work to improve the flow around the school.
As part of these efforts, we have made a change to school access in the mornings. Now that we are in Week 3, many children are happily settled and ready to be dropped off independently so we will add a Main Building Morning Drop-and-Go area at Gate 7.
Please note that the ramp leading to Gates 1 and 7 (Main Entrance) will now bring you to a reserved for staff and POD parking followed by a designated MorningDrop-and-Go area.
In this zone, parents are kindly reminded that stopping is not permitted. We ask that you ensure your child is ready to exit the car quickly when you approach the area, allowing for a smooth and efficient drop-off for everyone.
Please watch this video showing the new MorningDrop-and-Go zone. POD parking will be reserved for cars displaying a POD/Blue badge.
Additionally, parking by Gate 5 will no longer be available to staff. This adjustment has been made to provide more parking availability for families, ensuring better access during pick-up and drop-off times. Please see the attachedmap.
We hope that these changes will also allow our buses to approach and enter the bus access gates (Gate 6) more smoothly. This will help our bus students avoid being stuck in traffic, allowing them to arrive on time and enter the school without delays.
We will trial these changes for one month and review their impact, making adjustments as necessary based on feedback and observations.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation as we continue to make KCC a safe and smooth-running environment for all.
Sincerely,
Abigail Fishbourne Principal, Raha Khalifa City Campus
