Don't live within walking distance of school? No worries! There is plenty of parking at the Salem Village Clubhouse on the corner of Apex Peakway and Padstone Drive or really anywhere in the Salem Village neighborhood. From there you can join one of the four groups walking up to school.
For 2023, we will have four routes heading to school on the morning of 10/4. Feel free to join any route. There will be leaders at each route guiding students and parents in the right direction and helping cross streets safely. Here are the groups:
Padstone Drive: The Padstone group will meet at the corner of Padstone and Yately at 8:30 am and walk from Padstone to James (via the sidewalk). There is parking on Padstone or the Salem Village Clubhouse.
Minley Way: The Minley group will meet at the end of Minley in the cul de sac at 8:35 am and head to school. There is parking available on Minley Way.
Tingen Road: The Tingen group will meet at the front lawn of the West Haven apartments at 8:35 am and head up Tingen to school. No parking available for this group.
James Street: The James group will meet at the corner of James and Goldenview at 8:45 am and head down James to school. No parking available for this group.
