In an effort to improve the morning traffic flow and drop-off procedures, beginning on Monday, Feb 26, we will start a new drop-off procedure and traffic flow pattern. From 7:10 am to 7:45 am, this new procedure will be in effect. The attached map details how the new traffic pattern will look. The key points are:
1. Only school vehicles (buses and vans) and WLS staff will be allowed to enter off of Ames and
Augusta. Students and parents should enter and exit off of Fremont St / W Elmore Eastern Rd.
Beginning Feb 26, we will have our SRO and an Elmore police officer posted at the entrance off of Ames and Augusta as a friendly reminder to enter and exit off of Fremont St / W Elmore Eastern Rd.
2. The green arrows on the map indicate the traffic loop for grades 5-12 parents that drop their
high school and/or middle school student(s) off. The drop-off area for 5-12 students can take place at the Spirit Rock to the East Doors.
High school students will be permitted, as always, to enter the east doors between 7:10 am and 7:40 am. After 7:40 am, all HS students will be required to walk to the main doors to enter the
building.
Middle school students, grades 5-8, will walk down the sidewalk to the overhang area or the main doors if they want to wait for their bus in the vestibule or main lobby.
Elementary students that load at the high school should also enter off of Fremont St / W Elmore Eastern Rd, drop students off, and exit back onto Fremont St / E Elmore Eastern Rd. If parents are dropping off, drop the student at Spirit Rock and allow them to walk down the sidewalk to where the bus loads. Parents can also park and walk their students to the bus.
There will be a temporary barricade located on the east end to facilitate the left-hand turn
towards the drop-off area. After dropping off your student(s), please follow the green arrows and exit back on Fremont St / W Elmore Eastern Rd.
The modified traffic pattern is in an effort to improve student safety. This new pattern will
separate the school vehicle traffic from the drop-off traffic and will ensure that all drop-offs
are curb-side drop-offs.
Thank you in advance for helping us keep school and student safety a priority at Woodmore
Local Schools!
