Starting Monday, January 30,2012 until May 31, 2012,  Brookside Avenue will be closed between Beaumont Avenue and the south entrance of Beaumont High School.  The south entry of Beaumont High School will be available from the west. 

It is recommended that the BHS entrance off Brookside be avoided because of serious traffic congestion and long wait times. 

Here are several alternate areas for student drop-off and student pick-up:

1.  At the Sports Park, located at the corner of Beaumont Avenue and Brookside, students should use the pedestrian gate off Beaumont Avenue to enter campus and to avoid Brookside.

2.  At the Grange Hall area, located at the corner of Cherry Valley Boulevard and Beaumont Avenue

If entering the high school for drop-off or pick-up is required, parents will need to enter the school campus at the traffic light on Cherry Valley Boulevard and follow the new "drop-off" route.

For Brookside Elementary parents, we suggest you avoid this area and enter from the west of Oak View Drive.

Thank you for your cooperation during this challenging time!
