PARKING
Parking at Roscomare is challenging, particularly during the first 2 weeks of school. Families who arrive early (between 7:30-7:50 am) for morning drop-off will have a much easier time securing street parking. For afternoon pick-up parents can either arrive ~30 minutes early to secure closer parking, or by 2:50-2:55 pm the first round of parents have picked up and you can easily park in the front or school or secure street parking close by.
Please read posted signs and do not block residential driveways.
Tandem parking spots in front of school can be used for pick-up and drop-off, be sure to pull all the way forward to allow 2 cars to park. If you block another car in front of the school, you must leave your cell phone number on your dashboard so you can be reached to move your car.
Be courteous to our neighbors, our local businesses, and patient with one another. Above all, a safe and friend school environment is our top priority. Our children are watching and learning.
