Text Box:       Parking continues to be a problem during morning drop off and  afternoon pick up at Parker.  We have parents driving into our schoolyard, which is very dangerous to our students, who walk  to-and-from school, using the school yard.  REMINDER:  Drop off can safely occur at the Billings Road school yard gate, on the school side of the street, using the passenger side of the vehicle.  Additionally, it is safe to drop off at the Glover Ave. gate, on the school side of the street, using the driver’s side of the vehicle.  If you choose to park and walk your child into school, you must park in a legal parking space.  Remember that double and triple parking is against Quincy traffic laws.
