At Nibley Park, we feel that it is essential for us to have a partnership for educational success between school and home. Together, we will provide a quality education for our students and daily reinforce the importance of excellence in all that our students do to achieve at the highest academic and social levels. The purpose of this document is to describe the responsibilities of the student, parent, and school. Working together, we will teach and motivate our students to be successful leaders in local and global communities.

Nibley Park Recess Guidance

PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF STUDENTS

All student drop-off and pick-up will occur in the west parking lot. For drop-off, vehicles should line up heading north on 800 East and turn right into the Nibley Park driveway. Vehicles will then immediately turn left into the lower parking lot, where students can be dropped off and make their way to class. Please refer to the map below for detailed directions.

The upper parking lot will be reserved for visitors during the school day. If you would like to walk your student to the building, please park in the designated parking stalls in the lower west lot. The oval is for buses only. Our goal is to ensure the safety of all students during arrival and departure times.

For student pick-up, the procedure will remain the same, with students being picked up in the lower west parking lot. After-school vans will have designated stalls to park in for student pick-up.

 

Nibley Park has two places to park. One is on the east side of the building, and where teachers usually park. The other is the west side parking lot in the front of the building. There are a few parking spots near the building between the fire lane. This parking area is for quick visits to the school, and not for long term parking. Please do NOT park in the fire lane on the right hand side, nor the left side the passing lane. These lanes are for the purpose of emergency vehicles. You will be asked to remove your vehicle if you park in these lanes.
