Viking Families,

As we wrap up our first week of school, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our students, families, and staff for helping make it a successful start to the year. We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and support as we work through our dismissal procedures and establish safe routines for everyone.

A friendly reminder that while our dismissal bell rings at 2:50 p.m., it takes approximately 10 minutes for students to transition from classrooms, travel through the building, and get safely to their designated dismissal areas. Our goal is not speed, but ensuring that every child is dismissed safely and accounted for each day.

The safety of our students is always our top priority. As we continue to refine our procedures, we ask for your partnership by practicing safe driving habits in and around our campus. Please follow traffic patterns, avoid distractions, be mindful of crosswalks, and remain patient with fellow drivers, staff members, and families. We will be training a few staff members to be crosswalks, but we would gladly take any help from the community willing to volunteer.

We also encourage everyone to extend a little extra kindness and grace during these first few weeks. New routines take time, and together we can create a positive and safe environment for all of our students.

Thank you again for a wonderful first week. We are excited for a fantastic school year ahead and appreciate your continued support.

With gratitude,

Dr. Melissa Martinez
Principal

Woodlake Families,

We will be making significant changes to our arrival and dismissal procedures for the 2026-2027 school year. Please help us ensure the safety of all students by following our traffic plan during arrival and dismissal.

The car rider line begins at the back of the school on Lake Bend East, we will open the gate 2:00, vehicles will merge into the drive at that time, we will begin dismissal promptly at 2:50.

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES-Important Reminder

Pre-K and Kindergarten students will no longer be dismissed from the front of the school. All Pre-K and Kindergarten students will be dismissed through the gym as regular car riders unless they ride the bus, daycare transportation, Adventure Club, or another approved after-school program.

Please have your car rider tag visible during dismissal. For the safety of our students, all vehicles must display the assigned car tag on the dashboard. We also ask that parents remain in their vehicles while in the dismissal lane.

All Pre-K through 5th grade students will be designated as car riders unless otherwise noted as bus riders, daycare riders, Adventure Club participants, or WKPR Church program participants.

Walkers must use the sidewalks and walk home safely. The walker area is not a location for car rider pickup, students will be walked to the designated crosswalk of Lake Bend West and Woodlake Club and Lake Bend East.

There will be no early dismissals after 2:30 p.m. Additionally, walk-up pickups will not be permitted during the dismissal process.

Please ensure your car rider tag is clearly displayed on your dashboard each day during dismissal.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to provide a safe and efficient dismissal process for all students.
