A Safety Center update

The final touches of the new Self Family Welcome Center at the main gates are finished!

We are sure you have watched as it has come to completion and are curious how it will be used. We have some good ideas but thought it might be best to watch traffic patterns through the completed facilities as school begins to help firm up how things will be implemented.

So for now....

During "rush" times, arms will be up. Watch for direction from the Safety Team.

Outside of "rush" hours, watch for arms that are lowered and expect to stop and visit with a member of the Safety Team.

If you have not already registered your vehicle for the 2024-25 school year please click on the link below to fill out the online form.

‍Holland Hall Parking Permit for 2024-25 >>

Soon, we will have a "community" lane that will enable access to campus without having to stop by reading your PikePass or similar toll transponder. More on that to come!
