Get there early. 8 am is good. There is security directing traffic.

Meet your kid in front of Tom’s coffee truck.

We stayed till noon for pictures. Leaving was a breeze. We had lunch a Arundal mills.

We had an afternoon ceremony last year for WJ (a large school) and it was an hour each to enter and exit the parking lots. I’d arrive early and study a parking lot map to figure out best way in and out.

Students were asked to arrive at 7:30. There was a 5 minute traffic delay at that time. Parking was easy.

Only issue was leaving. I picked a bad spot, and we were stuck in the parking lot for 15-20 minutes. Try to to find a spot that has easy access to the road.

Other family arrived at 8:45 for 9 AM commencement, parked elsewhere and were out within a few minutes.

Critical thing we didn't do- arrange in advance where you will meet your kid outside when it is over. It was chaos out there and we had a hard time finding our grad.

Other than that, it really wasn't bad.

Getting to the parking lots for last year's graduation was a nightmare.
Have they done a better job this year with traffic flow?
