Dear Families:
It was so fantastic to see so many faces here tonight for the Open House.  What a great start to the new school year.

A few important notes for tomorrow:

Morning Drop Off:
• Student drop off begins at 7:40am.  Students can not be dropped off before that time.  Buses drop students off between 7:40 and 7:50am.
• Please do not drive into the main bus loop.
• Students can be dropped off in our Kiss and Go loop (which is the smaller loop beside the bus loop).  If you choose to use the "Kiss and Go" please respect that this is a quick drop off area.  Family members are asked to stay in their vehicles and staff members will assist students. 
• If you would like to park and get out of your vehicle we ask that you park on School Street and / or use the upper parking lot to avoid the congestion in the main bus loop and the "Kiss and Go".
• All staff members will be on duty to meet and greet students and ensure that they get to classes safely.  If you do feel the need to come to the school in the morning we ask that you have patience (it will be very busy), and that you not gather on the main sidewalk in the bus loop so that students can exit the buses and make their way to the playground areas safely. 
• Traffic will be heavy in the morning.  Give yourself lots of time, and please have patience. 

After School Pick ups:
• Buses are typically dismissed between 1:55 and 2pm (tomorrow may be a bit delayed), and then walkers are dismissed.  Once the buses have pulled out of the main bus loop a staff member will wave traffic in.  Please wait on the school side of Rocky Lake drive if you are planning on pulling in for a pick up.
• If you have not already contacted your child's classroom teacher about your afterschool plans for tomorrow - please do so asap. 

The Cafeteria re-opens on September 12th.  Please be sure to pack a lunch, snacks, and a refillable water bottle for tomorrow.  


We look forward to working with you to have a great year at WMES.
See you in the morning.
