Dear Families,
As we begin the SCW construction project at WMS and WHS, we wanted to make you aware of some parking and traffic adjustments to the arrival and dismissal procedures.. The staff parking lot on New York Ave. is not available for student drop off and will be barricaded beginning at 7:30 am each morning. Please follow the regular drop off routes. When dropping off on Oliver Street, do not park on the west side of the street, as it is not safe for students to cross in front of moving cars.
Barricades at the entrance of the staff lot will return in the afternoon. Do not enter through the exit area, as this will create a safety hazard. The parking lot will be unavailable at dismissal time and will reopen once all students have exited and safely cleared the area, allowing parking for after school activities.
Student safety is everyone’s responsibility. We appreciate your support with adhering to these procedures.
Just a reminder today is an early release day and students dismiss at 2:30 pm.
Also, tomorrow is Grinchy Green Day! Wear your green and no masks, please. Friday will be Pajama Day. No slippers please and all pajamas need to be school appropriate.
We are looking forward to a fun last two days of school before winter break!
omorrow during the day, students will be participating Camp Read-a-Lot in their grade level classrooms, playing fun reading games and activities. Students can dress up in camping attire, whether it be jeans, flannel shirts, or puffy jackets. If students choose not to dress to the theme, they should just come in their regular school uniform. No accessories should be included, just attire! Thank you and we're looking forward to a fun afternoon!
