We are excited to begin construction on our new Briggs Elementary building! While this is a wonderful step forward for our students and community, we know the timing brings some challenges. Our priority is student safety and ensuring that traffic flows as smoothly as possible during the school day. Below you will find our updated plan for parent pick-up, drop-off, and bus areas.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we begin the year. We will continue to evaluate these procedures and make adjustments if needed.
🚗 Parent Pick-Up & Drop-Off for Briggs Students Only
Locations: Short Street & Apple Street
All parent drop-off and pick-up will take place along Short Street or West Apple Street.
Students will exit the building on the west side, and staff will walk them across 5th Street to meet parents on Short Street or or down the 5th Street sidewalk to West Apple Street up to Decker Street.
Restricted Areas
For safety and construction reasons, parents may not park or pick up along Quarry Street or N. 5th Street.
5th Street will be reserved for buses only during arrival and dismissal times.
Please be respectful of driveways in our neighborhood and do not block them at pick-up or drop-off times.
🚌 Bus Pick-Up & Drop-Off
All buses will use 5th Street during arrival and dismissal.
This area is restricted to buses only to ensure safe loading and unloading.
🏫 Building Entrance
The main entrance is now located on the west side of the building, through the former 5th grade wing doors.
This is where the main office and secretary will be located.
🚍 Shuttle Bus (Briggs ↔ Cardinal)
Shuttle pick-up and drop-off will take place at the south parking lot of the old hospital building on the corner of Vermont Street and Quarry Street.
AM Pick-Up time will be 7:40. Students will get on Bus #10.
PM Drop-Off time will be approximately 3:18pm. The bus will come directly from Briggs to the hospital parking lot.
If you indicated during registration that your child will ride the shuttle, please plan to drop off and/or pick up at the old hospital lot.
During “Meet the Teacher” events on Thursday, families who indicated their child will ride the shuttle will be asked to complete additional information with their teacher and will receive a reminder about the shuttle pick-up and drop-off location.
We understand these changes may require adjustments for families, and we truly appreciate your cooperation. Together, we can ensure student safety while also keeping traffic manageable during this exciting construction period.
Thank you for your continued support of Briggs Elementary—we are excited for the future and grateful for your partnership!
