Help Keep Our Kids Safe

Safety is a priority for our Kerr Comets and their families. Please review the safety tips below:

  1. Review the arrival and dismissal map on the Kerr website to know which morning drop off location you should utilize. It is based on where you live and not your child’s grade level. 

  2. The school zone speed limit is 20 mph on surrounding roads near Kerr Elementary.

  3. While pulling in and out of the carpool lanes and parking lots, please drive slowly as we have staff, students and families walking across crosswalks.

  4. Avoid driving through cones in the carpool lanes.

  5. Students should be escorted in the parking lots at all times.

  6. When exiting the front carpool lane in the morning arrival time, it is a right turn only onto Glendover Drive.

  7. When exiting the west side carpool lane in the morning arrival time, it is a left turn only onto Glendover Drive

  8. Please be courteous to other drivers and take turns at stops signs.

Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our Kerr Comets and Kerr Community safe!
