Attention! PMS Car and Bus Line Procedures

Attention! PMS Car and Bus Line Procedures

 

Drop off and pick up traffic patterns for Pottstown Middle School.  

 

In cooperation with the Pottstown Police Department, we have developed new drop off and pick up procedures in an effort to increase the safety around the Middle School campus.    

 

All local non school related traffic will be diverted off Franklin Street onto Nightingale Street. All traffic coming down Franklin which passes by Nightingale Street will be directed into our carline.   No pick-ups or drop-offs will be allowed in front of the school or on the neighboring streets. Traffic patterns will be modified on school days in the morning from 7:15 to 7:45 AM and in the afternoon from 2:15 to 2:45 PM. 

 

In an effort to help clarify the patterns, two maps have been attached. One shows the patterns directly around the school while the other shows streets and patterns in the community surrounding the Middle School. A video will follow shortly to help explain the process.

 

We appreciate your support in keeping our students and staff safe.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
