Heritage Parking Lot Etiquette
Heritage would like to make you aware that our parking lot may be extremely congested before and after school for the first couple weeks of school. To assist in alleviating traffic issues, we do ask that all students and parents observe the following suggestions:
1. When in the carpool lane, please pull over to the right, by the curb, for drop off/ pickup. This will allow the left two lanes to continue moving.
2. Even that “quick stop” in the left two lanes causes the entire lane to stop.
3. Be observant of the traffic direction arrows painted on the above map and on the parking lot
