Traffic Control, Timing, & Parking Solutions at LCBC:

1) Arrive MP3 driving SLOWLY in the LCBC parking lot. Be CAUTIOUS & WATCHFUL of preschoolers & older pedestrians!

2) For typical days until 2:00pm, exit through the gate behind the LCBC parking lot via the high school lot.

3) After 2:00pm do NOT exit through the high school lot because of all the bus congestion...EXIT out the LCBC entrance.

4) On early dismissal days (11:50a -12:15p) at the high school, MP3 participants will need to SLOWLY exit out the LCBC entrance! We need MP3 parents to volunteer on this day and help traffic at LCBC to flow SAFELY as the preschool parents are picking up their kids! After 12:15pm, MP3 members can exit once again out the high school parking lot.

5) Please do not park on the grass. If you get stuck in the grass, you will pay the towing fee & the fee to repair grass, etc.

6) Please do not park in "no parking areas" that are painted with "hash marks", or posted "no parking".

7) Families with kids 6+ yrs, consider arriving 10 minutes early and park in the far WEST lot of the MSD main office. This is a bit of a walk but older students, and families could graciously accept this exercise. This would allow more parking for the younger MP3 families at LCBC.

8) Do NOT park in the lot directly west and next door to the LCBC church. This lot is solely designated for the high school teachers / staff / substitute cars / drop-off-pickup for athletics / buses / etc.
