New Procedures for AM and PM Car Riders Only
As we prepare for the start of the school year, we have been working closely with our local police department to review and improve our car rider (AM arrival and PM dismissal) procedures. These changes are for car riders only and are designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and overall flow of traffic during these busy times, especially on Grosstown Rd.
Please see below and the attached map for our new procedures for AM and PM car riders only:
- Car riders will enter the WPES campus using the Jay St. entrance. The regular Grosstown Rd entrance will not be accessible.
- Please loop around the parking lot following the highlighted route and pick up your child by the cafeteria doors. WPES staff will be on site to assist you.
- Once you have picked up your child, please exit the campus via Jay St. Please see the attached map which outlines the route in red.
Thank you for your support.
