Student Drop-off, Pick-up and Parking Reminders

Posted September 21, 2026

A reminder to ALL students and parents/caregivers of our LHSS parking and drop-off/pick-up policies as we head into the new school year.

STUDENT DROP-OFF & PICK-UP

Student drop-off and pick-up should only occur in the designated area of the main parking lot (see graphic below) OR on side streets off Laurelwood Drive (where safe to do so).  This includes Wild Ginger Ave. and Blue Beech Drive.

Students should NOT be dropped off or picked up in the following areas due to safety issues:

  • On Laurelwood Drive in front of school – this is a NO STOPPING/PARKING zone as per Waterloo Bylaw Enforcement
  • Upper areas of main parking lot (back of school) – designated teacher parking
  • Main back driveway off Creekside Drive (for school buses only)
  • Front parking lot (off Laurelwood Drive)

MAIN PARKING LOT (SEE MAP BELOW):

The upper two sections of the lot are reserved for STAFF ONLY and are not to be used for student parking or drop-off/pick-up.  Staff vehicles parked in these upper lots have LHSS tags displayed.  Visitors/occasional teachers can register via Google form (coming soon) to permit parking in the upper 2 areas.  Any vehicles parked in these areas without a tag or form approval may be reported to the main office and must be moved.

The lower lot is reserved for student parking and/or student drop-off/pick-up.  Please keep the “roundabout” area clear (indicated by green arrows arrow) to allow for safe movement through the lot.  Cars blocking this area must be moved.
