Hidden Hollow principal Tom Tillman said they will be revamping the lunch schedules to avoid Monday's long lines. And the school will get its copy machines soon but in the meantime is relying on neighbor Pony Express Elementary for help.

"We'll have a more efficient day Tuesday," Tillman said.

Lakeview parents are still concerned about kids crossing the road at 1390 North and Geneva Road. The Utah Department of Transportation is continuing with traffic studies to see if a traffic light is warranted at the site.

"It's a huge deal to us," said Renae Golding as she walked her two children, Elizabeth and Samuel, and dog Snickers across Geneva Road, with the help of crossing guard Bruce Clark, 76.

Yellow school-zone lights on the east and west sides of the 45-mile-per-hour Geneva Road give motorists an early warning to slow to 20 miles per hour. Two plastic neon-green child-size figures holding neon-orange flags on either side of the road draw attention to the crosswalk.

Both new elementary schools were funded through bond money. Alpine voters in November 2006 authorized the district to issue $230 million in bonds. The Provo district's $35 million bond referendum was approved by voters in June 2006.
