Arrival & Dismissal Information

as detailed in WRE Principal Post August 15, 2022

Arrival at WRE

Each morning, the main front door at WRE opens at 7:30. Students who arrive at school before 7:40 will go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or the front gym until they are dismissed to classrooms at 7:40.

All other entry points open at 7:40 and are monitored by WRE staff members. Students should be in class by 7:50. Students can come in through any entry point. This map lists suggested entry points for each grade level.

To alleviate long wait-times in the back carpool lane, those who drop off in the front carpool should line up on Chiswell only. From 7:30-7:50, cars will not be able to turn right onto Chiswell from Bellewood so front carpool drop-off should only enter via Chiswell.

Those who use the back carpool lane should enter through Broken Bow, Bellewood, or Wildhaven. Please do not enter the carpool line via Forestridge. When exiting, you will drive straight down Forestridge.

Parents MUST stay in their car in the carpool lines– staff will assist with getting children out each morning (including PreK).

Dismissal Options

These are the options for dismissal at WRE. Please make sure to read these carefully and let your child's teacher know if your dismissal plans change.

Front Carpool

Parents of carpool students in PreK, kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade will pick-up in the front carpool lane on Chiswell. We will begin calling carpool numbers at 2:45 for PreK and ECSE ONLY and at 3:10 for Kindergarten through 2nd grade. If a front carpool rider has an older sibling in 3rd - 6th grade, they will also be dismissed in front carpool.

PreK and ECSE Parents - PreK and ECSE parents will have special, brightly colored carpool tags. These cars will be the only ones allowed to enter the front carpool lane on Chiswell between 2:45 and 2:55 PM.

If you are not a PreK or ECSE parent and you arrive to front carpool before 2:55, you should wait in line at Chiswell and Bellewood. At 2:55, we will open the front carpool lane to all drivers.

Back Carpool

Parents of carpool students in 3rd through 6th grade who do not have younger siblings will pick-up in the back carpool off of Bellewood. Carpool numbers will start to be called at 3:10.

Walker (without a parent)

If your child walks home without meeting a parent on campus, they will be dismissed to walk home starting at 3:00. If they are walking with an older sibling, they will need to meet them outside before walking home.

Walker (with a parent)

If you have a kindergartener, 1st, or 2nd grader, you will meet your child on the soccer field near Chiswell to walk home at about 3:00. Older siblings of kinder, 1st, and 2nd graders will also meet their parents at the field. 3rd through 6th graders should meet their parents in a designated spot decided on by the parent.

Bus, Daycare Van, Forerunner, or xPlore

We will have staff members pick up younger students and wait with them in a designated area until they are picked up. Older students will go to the designated area by themselves.
