Parking Lot Protocol: During the school day, the LCHS parking lot is
intended for faculty, staff, disabled visitors and those attending business in
the school (1 hour or more). Please utilize on -street parking for short-term
visits.
One -Way: The LCHS parking lot has a one-way entrance from Minnesota
Dr., and a one-way exit to Custer Dr. Both the entrance and exit to the lot
have directional arrows painted on them. Please never enter or exit the lot at
the improper locations.
Observe "Reserved" Parking Spots: Visitors at LCHS and LCS will
notice new "Reserved" parking spaces at both schools. These are strictly
reserved for faculty that split their time between the two buildings. These
teachers have little time to spare when traveling between the schools.
Please avoid the temptation to occupy these spots even for a minute or two
when they appear unused.
Leadership and Safety: LCHS students are approaching driving age and
some are learning to drive. Please provide them only sound examples
driving courtesy and traffic safety:
➢ When in the vicinity of the school, travel at a cautionary speed.
➢ Do not use cell phones or text while driving.
➢ Drive with headlights on.
➢ Put your vehicle in "park" when passengers are entering or
exiting your vehicle.
➢ Make sure you and all passengers are wearing seatbelts.
➢ Always yield to pedestrians and bicyclists.
➢ Come to a complete stop at stop signs.
➢ Always use turn signals. Do not block intersections.
➢ Make solid eye contact with other motorists, pedestrians and
bicyclists near your vehicle.
➢ Be courteous at all times, especially to the many residents in the
LCHS neighborhood.
Zero Incidents: Our goal is zero traffic incidents at LCHS and LCS.
Please help us observe the highest standard of traffic safety.
