Attention Hayes student drivers and families!


As the number of students driving to school continues to grow, let’s make sure we’re looking out for our neighbors.

For students parking on our neighborhood streets, please remember to:


  • Park Legally: Park within designated street parking areas and avoid blocking driveways, hydrants, and mailboxes.


  • Drive Safely: Slow down and stay alert on neighborhood streets.


  • Be Kind: A little patience goes a long way. Let’s show our neighbors the respect and kindness they deserve!


Thank you for helping us keep our community safe and welcoming. 

New Year, New Career Opportunity! 



Interested in starting a new chapter this year? Consider becoming a school bus driver with Delaware City Schools!
