Driving restrictions lifted

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 | Comments (0)

Dear MEHMS and GMHS Families:

Snow removal crews have been able to widen the Leesburg Pike entrance to Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School, so the traffic pattern restrictions imposed yesterday have been lifted.  You may now use the Leesburg Pike entrance.  However, please remember that it is illegal to turn right from Leesburg Pike into that entrance as indicated by the posted traffic sign.  This restriction was imposed by the Virginia Department of Transportation in 2005 for safety reasons.

Also, please be advised that all after school and evening activities scheduled for tonight will go on as scheduled.
