WALKER EXIT DOORS
MARCH 2021 - FULL IN PERSON
If your child will be walking home along Providence Road (the front of the school) please have them exit the building through the current walker door by the Music Rooms and Library, as seen below.
If your child will be walking home along the Kershaw Road side of the school (the back of the school) OR meeting guardians to walk down to the lower parking lot, please have them exit the building through the side gym door at the top of the ramp, as seen below.
Parents/guardians can meet students on the ramp by the playground.
CAR LINE
If you are picking your child up in car line, please have your child’s name in LARGE BOLD writing displayed on your front windshield. This will help to speed up the process of calling student names.
Arrival & Dismissal
This year, because of the majority of parents transporting their children, our car drop off and pick-up will occur in the back bus loop. This will also allow many more cars to enter the property without concern of a traffic backup on South Providence Road.
Transportation information should be available in PowerSchool. For questions please contact the Transportation Office 6108923470 Ext.1701, 1702 and 1703.
***Note: PM kindergarten parents will still drop their students off in the front bus loop by 12:40pm.
CAR LINE
With our school opening up to all hybrid students, we are anticipating that car line volunteers will be more important than ever! Please help us by volunteering for a time slot from 8:15-8:45 AM as your schedule permits. In addition to welcoming students, you will help to keep the longer line moving each morning. We expect more will be driving over sending their children on the bus. Masks are required.
We have updated the sign up to include Wednesday mornings and you can sign up here.
Please remember the following guidelines when dropping students off at school at Morning Car Line:
- Drop off needs to be quick, efficient and safe to avoid a back up.
- Drivers should stay in the car and have your children exit on the passenger side.
- The drop zone is along the curb area at the back to WES.
- Please do not talk on your cell phone.
- Please do not pass other cars.
- Please pull forward so those behind you can drop off.
If you require special arrangements (e.g., a child on crutches) or have any other questions, please email Cindy Bean or Fran Yan.
