ANCHOR 1: Aloha Vikings! This is your K-V-I-K-S Morning Bulletin for Monday, August 16th, 2021.The periods today are 2-STARS-4-6. Here’s what’s new Vikings!
Vikings, it is very important that we follow our student drop off procedures every morning. These directions are there to ensure that everyone can be dropped off quickly and safely.
1-Waianuenue Avenue is converted to a One-Way Traffic Pattern from 7:15am through 8:00am on all school days. The direction of travel is temporarily changed to flow toward Hilo Bay beginning at Komohana Street and ending at Kamehameha Avenue. The parking stalls on either side of Waianuenue Avenue are also used as traffic lanes, creating 4 total lanes of traffic.
The furthest-left lane should be utilized to make a left turn into our school campus.
2 - When coming to campus for drop off, students should be seated on the passenger side of the vehicle and be ready to disembark from the vehicle at the designated pickup and drop off areas. This means that all backpacks, bags, water bottles, masks, and Student ID cards are with the student prior to entering the drop off areas. Students who are being dropped off should not be the driver of the vehicle. This is in an effort to keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely for all.
Once in the parking lot of our school, vehicles must traverse the roadways with extreme caution and observe all traffic directions. Students should not be dropped off along the main entrance roadway at any time. All drop-offs must occur along the bus ramp in front of the school library.
A HHS security attendant is posted at the security checkpoint, at which the roadway is divided into 2 lanes, pickup/drop-off (right) and parking (left). Drivers are asked to pull as far ahead forward, toward the cafeteria in the pickup/drop-off lane before students open their doors to exit the vehicle.
No one should exit vehicles until they are well within the designated pickup/drop off lane.
Following these drop-off procedures will ensure that you get to school on time, and allow others to safely be dropped off as well, in a timely manner. Thank you.
