Student Drop Off

Posted October 7, 2024

Student Drop Off reminder: 

For the safety of everyone, Clifford Road and the upper (teachers) parking lot is NOT a student drop off location.

Students who are driven to school are encouraged to be dropped off on Brentwood Avenue or Jackson Street and enjoy the 2 minute walk to school.

Students can also be dropped off near the portables – cars can enter the student parking lot off of Montgomery Road and then continue forward behind the school and exit on Clifford Road.   U-TURNs are not permitted in the lower parking lot as it is a ONEWAY entrance off of Montgomery Rd.

Exercise is a great way to improve focus and learning. We encourage students to walk a few minutes to school in the morning.  Map 1, below, shows areas around the school that are suitable for student drop off that will allow the students to get in a walk. The furthest identified drop off area at Sheldon and Brentwood is only 650 m from the school – that’s only an 8-minute walk.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation as we work to make Eastwood a safer, smarter and healthier community.

Map 1: Students that do not have a physical disability or large musical instrument to carry to school are encouraged to be dropped at the above starred drop-off locations. We ask that you follow the broken arrows back to Weber St. and do not use Jackson St. or Montgomery Rd. to leave the neighbourhood.

Map 2: The only place on campus you may drop off a student is at the star by the Music/Tech entrance, which is accessed from Montgomery St.  Otherwise, please use one of the drop offs in Map 1.
