indward is committed to improving the experience of our neighboring community. Our new Palms parking lot will streamline the school pick-up and drop-off experience, alleviating traffic congestion in the area. The updated design will also reduce the overall traffic noise emanating from the westside of the lot. We appreciate your patience!

indward continually strives to make our neighborhood a safer and more enjoyable place to live. As Windward students and faculty are not permitted to park in the neighboring streets, campus security guards can often be seen walking the surrounding perimeter throughout the day to ensure that mandate is strictly enforced. In addition, Windward employs community crossing guards to help with pedestrian crossing. For questions or feedback regarding parking, traffic, or noise at the School, please contact Mark Tronson, Neighbor Relations and Security Associate, at (818) 388-0681 or by email at mtronson@windwardschool.org.
