DPM Quick Facts

  • Please note that Hastings Road is a two-lane road with one lane flowing west and one lane flowing east. Cars may not form two lanes on Hastings. Doing so is in violation of the law.
  • DPM drivers may not use the Rec Center as a meeting point. DPM drivers please remain in the westbound pick-up lines and retrieve your students at school.
  • Lastly, for the safety of all, PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY.
