Traffic Detour for Drop-off & Dismissal Extended
September 3, 2024 - Traffic Detour for Drop-off & Dismissal Extended
As salamu alaykum Parents and Guardians,
We have monitored the traffic during this week of utilizing the detoured route for drop-off and dismissal and have seen no direct impact on the time it takes to complete the processes. Therefore, we have decided to continue to route families through this direct route, rather than the previous route around the neighboring businesses. This will start today Tuesday, September 3, 2024.
We can expect there to be times when other businesses along this new route are backing up or loading patients into vehicles. We continue to ask that all families be cordial and patient. Remember to adhere to the rules of the business park and do not pass, honk, or speed in the parking lot.
Please email info@alfatih.org with any questions or concerns.
