The traffic map for pick-ups and drop-offs at Sweeny and Lyon Elementary schools was implemented during the 2023-2024 school year. The road adds more than 2,700 feet of staging space for each building’s car line. Families for both Sweeny and Lyon will enter the driveway north of Sweeny on North Main Avenue. Sweeny vehicles should stay in the right lane, while Lyon vehicles should stay in the left lane. Continue to follow the signs on the road itself for directions. After coming to a complete stop at the end of the queuing road, when the road is clear, both Sweeny and Lyon vehicles will turn left, then follow the route to their building’s drop-off and pick-up location. Sweeny vehicles may then exit onto Highway 174 or onto Main Avenue. Lyon vehicles will wind back around and will have the option of turning left or right onto Main Avenue.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when picking up or dropping off students for school:

• Only let students out of your car in the designated drop-off sections of the traffic route.

• Be aware of potential pedestrian students along the traffic route.

• Please follow the arrows on the maps.

• Deviating from the provided traffic route can be a potential safety hazard for pedestrian students, and can cause other drivers frustration. 

• Do not park along the traffic route at any time.

• Be courteous of other drivers.

• When picking up, please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to dismissal as that creates traffic congestion and safety concerns for our students and staff. Emergency vehicles must be able to access our driveways and parking lots during the entire school day in the event of an emergency.

• From the time of dismissal, it will only take 15-20 minutes for every child to be picked up.
