Navigating the arrival and departure process at Hardy Elementary presents unique challenges. We understand that waiting during pickup and drop-off can be time-consuming, especially during the initial weeks of school when new families adapt to our traffic flow, and prior to children starting their before and after-school programs. Our location on a busy street adds complexity to traffic management, compounded by the fact that we are in a permitted parking neighborhood, which affects parking availability. Furthermore, San Diego Unified does not provide school buses, resulting in more parents relying on personal transportation. Parking is limited, primarily designated for UTK and Kinder students, sometimes requiring staff to double park.
Please know we do everything we can to keep traffic running and your kids safe. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to parents and guardians for their patience and assistance in ensuring the smooth flow of traffic and maintaining safety.
