Thank you to our Operations team for helping direct traffic at Desert Hills for the opening of the new parking, bus lane and parent drop off. Phase I renovation is complete with Phase II soon to be completed! #LCPS
Ongoing construction at Desert Hills Elementary will impact parking and traffic along Roadrunner Parkway, beginning Monday, Aug. 5. Here are some key changes:
* Parent Parking for 3rd-5th Grades:
Parents will continue using the parking lot at the Storage Facility and walk their children to the southwest entrance.
Pedestrians should continue using the existing crosswalk, then walk south along Roadrunner Parkway to the asphalt walkway leading to the school.
* Bus Entry:
Busses will enter on the north side of the school.
* Staff Parking:
Designated area on the north side.
* Pickup and Drop-off for NM PreK-2nd Grade:
Designated area on the north side.
* Visitor Entrance:
Visitors will enter through the new kinder wing. Upon arrival, please call the office for access. There will be signs to guide everyone.
We appreciate your patience during this construction period. These arrangements are temporary and are expected to be in place until November, when we anticipate the project will be complete. Thank you for your cooperation.
