Traffic Update: Thank you Denver Police Department for supporting Samuels with our Kiss-N-Go arrival and dismissal system. Law enforcement will be present on occasion to enforce traffic laws and to support implementation of KISS-N-GO. With that in mind, please do your part to keep our students safe by:
- Refraining from making U-turns
- Using the crosswalk if you choose to park your car on the east side of Vincennes ct. or in the neighborhood. It is very dangerous to run with your children across the street.
- No double parking/loading. Our staff will not allow students to run between cars to enter your vehicle. You must wait in the KISS-N-GO lane and safely pull up to the curb.
- Practice being a good neighbor by refraining from blocking driveways with your car.
For more information and a diagram of the KiSS-N-GO system, please click the following links:
- KISS-N-GO Map and guidelines
- ECE & Kindergarten KISS-N-Go guidelines
- 1st Grade through 5th Grade KISS-N-GO guidelines
Thank you for helping us combat the high traffic congestion around the school. Your participation in the KISS ‘N’ GO system is making a difference in the safety of our students!
