Starting on Sunday, the Lassiter back stadium parking lot will be closed because of the start of construction for a new primary gymnasium.
Students were notified Thursday of the closure, which will affect more than student parking.
That lot is where student dropoffs and pickups also have taken place.
School officials said in their notice Thursday that all car riders must now be dropped off and picked up in front of the school.
Carpooling vehicles should “expect heavy delays” and those students being dropped off in the morning should allow for extra time to be on time for the start of the school day at 8:20 a.m.
As for student drivers, here’s more information that’s been shared about that:
- Only park with decal;
- Do not park in neighborhoods or area businesses;
- Plan on heavy traffic delays. Leave at least 30 minutes earlier in the morning;
- Only seniors should be parking in the school lots. All juniors must park at Harrison Park with a decal;
- Any cars without decals may be ticketed and/or towed.
Construction updates are being provided on the Lassiter homepage.
The new gym, whose funding was approved last month by the Cobb Board of Education, is expected to be completed by next November.
The $15.66 million facility will include a capacity for 3,000 and will meet other specifications for new gyms in Cobb, similar to those recently opened at Pope and underway at Walton.
