At Richardson, we ask that all families follow these parking and driveway guidelines. Traffic can be very busy at the front and back of our school.  Our most important concern is the safety of our entire community (students, families, staff and visitors). We do not want anyone to get hurt, and we need everyone to use extreme caution when driving in our school zone.  School zone speed limits are 30km per hour, and Delta Police are often present monitoring traffic safety.  The parking lot immediately in front of the school is for staff parking only and drop off by school bus or daycare providers only between 8:00am and 4:00pm.  Families may drop off and pick up students in the back parking lot or from the street parking spots around our grounds (and supervise your child crossing safely onto school property). Please do not park in the no parking/no stopping zones and we ask that families are respectful of the private driveways in our community, and do not block driveways at any time.

Please leave home early and allow plenty of time to get students to their entry doors safely.

In our School Zone:

• The speed limit is 30km/h
• U-turns are not permitted
• Whenever possible, walk or bike to school
• Families may park on streets surrounding the school and have children walk to their line-ups
• Northside Community Church has also graciously offered the use of their parking lot for before/after school parking

Front Parking Lot and Driveway:

• Staff parking only
• No drop-offs or pick-ups from 8:30a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
• Bus/Fire Zone – NO PARKING

Back Parking Lot and Driveway: (New Layout):

• Available to families for parking and for drop-off and pick-up
• The drop-off/pick up zone is on the east side near the portable. Please stop in the yellow zone to drop off and pick up students. This improves safety for students so they can exit directly to the right and to the walkway.
• The west side near the church now has parallel parking spaces.

• For maximum safety students should exit vehicles on the passenger side

Accessible Parking Spaces:

• One accessible parking space in the front parking lot
• Two accessible parking spaces in the back parking lot
• Cars must display a valid accessible parking permit

If you do not have a permit, please do not use accessible spaces at any time

Please remember, your children are watching you. It can be uncomfortable for everyone involved if a staff member has to remind a driver of these guidelines; it is very important that everyone sets an example of good citizenship for our students.
