DROP OFF/PICK UP ZONE'S

Venice Street
There is limited sidewalk access and parking in this busy traffic area. Please remember to go the speed limit and take alternate routes to Venice Street to cut down on traffic congestion. Utilize Pescadero, Bermuda, Santa Barbara and Point Loma Avenues for easy access to the Safety Zone on Venice Street. VERY IMPORTANT! It is prohibited at all times to drop off or park directly across the Safety Zone on Venice Street.

Catalina Blvd
Traffic on Catalina Boulevard is very busy any many people do not pay attention to the children crossing the streets at any of the intersections around Catalina Boulevard and Silver Gate Elementary. Please be very cautious when dropping or picking up your children at school. Never drop off on the opposite side of off the school entrance and always drop off at the Safety Zone by the walk way.

Safety Zone Courtesy:
  1. In the morning hours, please be patient as everyone is rushed to get to their destination.
  2. Be patient while children are getting out of their vehicle to get onto the campus.
  3. Please only drop off children at the Safety Zone Curbside only; this will alleviate multiple lane in the Safety Zone
  4. Please refrain from making a U-turn at the Pescadero Avenue & Venice Street intersection this will decrease the danger to pedestrians trying to cross the street to get to school.
Parking

Parking is very limited in Silver Gate Elementary neighborhood, please make note of the no parking signage. The alley at Silver Gate is off limits for any drop off or pick up.
