Traffic Notes
Leon County Sheriff's Department (LCSD)
Please remember that Point View Drive has a double yellow line.  It is
illegal to pass into the left lane when there is a double yellow line.
Several tickets have been written for this traffic violation.  Also, please
do not stop in the crosswalk on Point View and Old Bainbridge.  The
LCSD will begin writing tickets for this violation next week.
The speed limit is 5 MPH once you arrive on school property.  Please
continue to help us provide a safe environment for all students, staff
and parents.

Reassignment
In Leon County every effort is being made to offer students the
opportunity to attend a school of choice that meets their specific
needs.  The choices for these students are better than ever.

If you answer "yes" to any of the questions listed below, you may
qualify for the School Choice Program.

Is there a special program or another school that meets your child's
interests or needs?
Would you like to move from an over capacity school to an under
capacity one?
Is there more convenient after-school childcare available in another
school zone?
Does a parent/guardian of the student or the student work in a
different school zone?

If you are interested in knowing more about the Leon County School
Choice Program, call the Leon County Schools Reassignment Office
at 487-7546 or 414-5160.  You may also visit us on the web at:

The deadline to apply for changing schools is March 1, 2003!
