Hubbard Woods School has developed the below traffic flow protocol in consultation with The Winnetka Police Department.
Getting To and From School
Kindergarten: Kindergarten will use the Kindergarten turn-around on Gordon Terrace. Teachers will meet students at the cars and guide them to the playground. They will bring your K students to their car for dismissal. Kindergarten teachers will convey specific instructions to their classes.
By Car: 1st-4th parents dropping off or picking up their children by car should use the assigned drop-off areas: A-L at the front of the school on Chatfield and M-Z on the south side of the school on Laurel. A-L should enter via Chatfield at Green Bay Road. No turn-offs are allowed from Vine or Burr. M-Z should enter via Laurel and may not utilize Burr.
At no time should driveways be blocked. Do not use “No Outlet” streets, Hamptondale or Chatfield (west of school), for pick-up as vehicles using our neighbors’ driveway to turn around is not courteous and is a nuisance to our Hubbard Woods neighbors. Please see the map. Students arriving on the south side will walk around the front of the school to access the playground before 8:30. After 8:30 they will be let in the ramped door on Burr.
Walking: If students need to cross Tower Road, please do so with the crossing guard at Tower and Gordon Terrace. Cross other streets only at marked crosswalks.
Biking/Scootering: Only 3rd and 4th grade students may bike alone to school. K-2 nd graders may ride only if accompanied by a parent or guardian. 2nd graders will be given a bike safety test in Spring, and then will be able to bike to school alone. Bike racks are located around the school. Walk bikes across crosswalks and on school grounds. Helmets are required.
Dogs: Dogs are NOT permitted on school grounds per Village Ordinance Section 6.08.020A3. This includes Mann Park.
