Most of our families use the designated traffic line on the Arete campus and have seen the wait times reduced from the start of the year.  This is the safest way to ensure your children get to school, and we encourage you to stay the course.  If you choose to use parking spaces outside of our campus, please observe the following. 

• Do not park or enter into the Chase Bank parking lot for school business. This is a private lot and Chase has officially requested that the Arete community not use this space.  We have also heard from Chase customers who are frustrated with poor access due to Arete traffic.
• Do not park in the designated Car Life spots.  The folks at Car Life have been wonderful neighbors.  They recently paid for a catered lunch for our teachers as well as our fees associated with our PSO joining the Chamber of Commerce.  Let us repay their kindness and leave some spots available for their customers.  They are clearly marked with signs. 
• Do not instruct students to wait near Car Life or Chase Bank to wait for rides.  Again, we want to respect our neighbors and their customers.  Further, these areas are not supervised by Arete staff members and we cannot vouch for their safety. 

Thank you for helping our local businesses and exercising the same great-heartedness we wish to see in our children.  We appreciate your support.
