Woodlands Elementary: Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Safety is our highest priority during arrival and dismissal. To ensure that every child is safe, teachers and support staff are assigned to monitor areas at designated areas around Woodlands campus. Please review the procedures carefully with your child and reinforce the importance of following the procedures on a daily basis. Any change in arrival/dismissal must be indicated in writing and communicated to the teacher and office staff.
Arrival: 7:25-7:40 - Supervision of students by staff begins at 7:25 AM. Students should not arrive at school prior to 7:25.
Walkers - Any student who walks off school grounds to either:
Go home
To meet a parent parked off school grounds
WALKERS CANNOT BE PICKED UP FROM THE STAFF PARKING LOT DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.
Busser - Any student who takes the bus home is considered a busser. If your child is assigned to a bus, please have them use this mode of transportation. Many of our students are assigned to bus transportation, and this is a safe and efficient means of dismissal. Students who have been assigned bussing are urged to ride their assigned bus to and from school to help minimize car traffic around the school. Walkers are to stay on sidewalk areas and follow all traffic rules to and from school.
Parent-drop-off/Pick-up - For students to be considered parent drop-off/pick-up, you must drive and pick-up your child on Lake Erie Pkwy on the west side of the building. Remember: If you wait off of school grounds for your child, he/she is a walker, not a parent pickup.
