Monday, August 26th is the first day of school at our new location downtown at 1350 Main Street and we want to share a final reminder about morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. All students are reminded to arrive and depart by PVTA, as there is no stopping, standing, or double-parking on the busy streets (Main St., Court St., City Hall Pl.) directly in front of our school. For those dropping off in the morning (between 6:50 and 7:10am), please use available legal parking spots near Symphony Hall just up the block from Discovery, ample space in the pedestrian drop-off at 1 MGM Way just one street over from Discovery, or the turnaround at Union Station. These locations will help make your drop off quick and safe. Please note there are VERY FEW metered parking spaces and double parked cars will be ticketed. For afternoon pick-up (2:20pm), ALL students being picked up MUST do so at the pedestrian drop-off at 1 MGM Way or at the turnaround at Union Station, as there will be NO street parking nearby at that time, and there will be no stopping, standing, or double-parking. Avoid heavy traffic, use PVTA!
Please reach out with any questions in the coming days.
