Principal Ames' WES Update
Information for Families March 14, 2021
March Into Spring!
Welcome back to school EVERYDAY starting March 22, 2021!
One more week until we get to see students EVERYDAY!
Drop-off & Pick-up
- This week we will implement our 3-Lane Protocol.
- To accommodate the number of families at drop-off and pick-up, we will be adding two extra lanes of traffic at the front of the building. See the pictures below.
- PLEASE BE EXTRA VIGILANT! We've added two crosswalks for student crossings, and family members driving vehicles will need to watch for students.
- When students get out of their vehicles in Lane #2, they will need to wait by the crosswalk cones until school staff tells them to cross.
- Suggestion: Drop off PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN students in Lane #1. Use Lane #2 if older siblings can walk with them.
Parking Lot Changes/Drop-off & Pick-up
Lane #1
This is the spot next to the front sidewalk we've always used.
Travel Lane
Arrows have been painted to show the lane to use after dropping off or picking up. Notice there are two crosswalks: one in the middle by the front steps, and one at the end of the sidewalk. WATCH FOR STUDENTS CROSSING!
Lane #2
This will be the second drop-off, pick-up lane. No parking in this area. Students will need to exit their vehicles, wait by the crosswalk cones, and listen for school staff to direct them to cross.
Students in Car Seats
- Please have car seats behind the driver or front passenger seat.
- Staff can help students unbuckle if students are in these seats only.
- Teach your student that it's okay to unbuckle in the school parking lot.
- Staff will no longer be "crawling" into the back seats to unbuckle students.
- If your student is in the back and doesn't know how to unbuckle, please pull into the parking spots, unbuckle your student, and walk them to the crosswalk cone for school staff to direct to cross.
