Parking and Traffic Rules and Driver's Guide GLC
The purpose of the following Parking and Traffic Rules is to enable the safe and
disciplined use of the parking lot and considerate behavior on the parking lot and
within the neighborhood. It is particularly important for our school to cultivate good
relationships with our neighbors. We are located in a residential area and must
demonstrate care in our behavior, i.e. treat our neighbors with respect, protect their
property and ensure their safety.
