Parking at Minnewashta
Re:
I am writing this letter in response to your voice message on February 11, 1999.
.
With the growth of Minnewashta, parking has become a problem for the local
neighborhood. To help solve the problem the school will put the following measures into
effect at our next night event:
1. The back playground will be open for parking.
2. All parents will be notified that space is available for their parking needs.
3. Overflow parking signs will be posted to assist parents.
4. We will notify the custodian whenever these events are being held so he can open the
back gate and post signs.
5. The back doors to the school will be open for easy entrance from the back parking lot.
