Car Rider Arrival Procedures
Car Rider Procedures & Traffic Patterns
Lucy P. Edwards Road will be blocked off in front of Woodruff Primary School
during drop-off (7:15 – 8:00 a.m.) and dismissal times (2:00 – 3:00 p.m.) each day.
There will be “no through traffic” allowed on Lucy P. Edwards Road during these
times. This has been designed to eliminate cars passing on the wrong side of the
road, and hopefully, make it safer for everyone. .
If you wish to drop-off or pick-up a preschooler or kindergartner, you should enter
from Hwy 146. You may only make a right turn after picking up your preschooler or
kindergartner, which will take you back to Hwy 146.
If you wish to drop-off or pick-up a 1st grader or 2nd grader, you should enter
from McEdco Rd. You may only make a left turn after picking up your 1st or 2nd
grader, which will take you back to McEdco Rd.
Drop-Off Procedures
Preschool & Kindergarten
Doors to the preschool & kindergarten sections of the building are opened at 7:30 a.m.
If you should need to drop off a preschooler or kindergartner prior to 7:30 a.m., you
should enter from McEdco Rd and drop him or her in front of the school. He or she
should enter through the front lobby. Children should not be dropped off earlier than
7:15 a.m. as supervision begins at 7:15 a.m.
Beginning at 7:30 a.m., enter the preschool or kindergarten drop-off area and pull to the
right curb. An adult will be at the curb to assist your child out of the car and into the
building. This adult will be on duty until 7:55 a.m.
If, for any reason, you should need to park and enter the building with your child, please
enter from McEdco Rd., utilize the front parking lot, and enter through the school
lobby. A Visitor Check-In System, which is located in the front lobby, will be utilized for
issuing visitors’ passes. This system will require that you present your driver’s license to
be issued a visitor’s pass.
Your child needs to be in his/her classroom by 7:50 a.m. to perform all of the morning
procedures and hear the announcements on the WPS News Show. The entrance to the
preschool/kindergarten drop-off circle is closed promptly at 7:55 a.m. If children arrive
later than 7:55 a.m., they must enter through the front lobby. Children entering after the
7:55 bell rings are considered tardy. Late students should be escorted in by a parent
through the front doors and properly signed in to receive a tardy slip to enter
class. Visitor passes will not be issued to walk students to class after 7:45 a.m. A school
employee will meet late preschoolers and kindergartners in the lobby to walk them to
class.
Please encourage your child learn the route to his or her classroom as soon as
possible. After two weeks of school, we would expect preschool and kindergarten
children to be able to find their classrooms on their own. We appreciate parents’
encouragement in this area.
First & Second Grades
Doors to the front of the building (lobby doors) are opened for students at 7:15 a.m.
Children should not be dropped off earlier than 7:15 a.m. as supervision begins at
that time. If you are dropping a child in the front of the school, remember to enter on
McEdco Rd.
Please pull over to the right curb to drop off a student. Beginning at 7:30 a.m., an adult
will be at the curb to assist your child out of the car and into the building. Please drop
your child with one of the adults on duty, and do not drop him or her at the steps or
flagpole. This adult will be on duty until 7:55 a.m. If, for any reason, you should need to
park and enter the building with your child, please utilize the front parking lot, so drop off
of students in the driveway can continue safely and uninterrupted.
