Safe routes to Salt Brook School
Salt Brook School finds Safe Routes for our kids to walk or bike from home to school to their after school activities.
DROP-n-GO only
Salt Brook School DROP-n-GO‘s are safe locations where a parent can drop their child and go on to their destination. They are located a short distance from school, often in view of a crossing guard and along a side walk. They enable the driver to avoid congested areas. PARK-n-WAIT’s are 3 less crowded places to meet.

In a hurry? Our tips
- Pull ALL the way forward during drop off to allow more cars to drop off at once during periods of high congestion.
- Turn right instead of left. It’s faster. If there is a line of cars behind you, then consider turning right instead of left.
- Drop off your students earlier.
- Use a DROP-n-GO or PARK-n-WAIT – See our 3 public options above with more when parents sign in here. (link coming soon from your principal/PTA).
- Have your child walk or bike.
- Avoid the front circle a few times a week and overall traffic will improve.
