This is your one-stop shop for everything you need to know. Here you will find information on transportation, coming in for lunch, chaperoning, staff in our building, and much more! If you have any questions, you can always call the main office at 540-946-4670.

We love to get families involved! There will be opportunities for chaperoning field trips, helping in the classroom, volunteering at the Book Fair, and much more. Visit the Waynesboro Public Schools website to get started.

🕢 Our doors open for students at 7:30 am. Car riders should be dropped off in our back parking lot, which can be accessed via Lovers Lane and Northgate Avenue. Students are tardy if they arrive after 7:50 am. Students arriving after 7:50 need to be brought into our office and checked in by a parent or guardian.

We do realize that our car line backs up along Northgate avenue and ask that our families be respectful of those that live on Northgate by not blocking driveways and being respectful of their property.

🚨 For the safety of our staff and students, we try to limit traffic in our front parking lot during arrival and dismissal. This lot should only be used to drop off students in our exceptional learner’s classes and students with limited mobility. We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this.

All students can receive free breakfast and lunch at school. Monthly menus are available on the school nutrition page of the Waynesboro Public Schools website.

You can come in and have lunch with your child any day! Just bring your photo ID and we will have you sign in at the office. We ask that parents and guests not bring fast food when they come to eat lunch with their child. If you are coming to eat with your child and would like to purchase a school lunch, please make sure you have funds on your child’s account, a check, or cash to purchase the meal.

⌚ *Some days, we may have a different lunch schedule due to testing or other school events. You can always call ahead to ask what time your child has lunch.*

While we love celebrating our students and recognize that birthdays are special milestones, deliveries of cupcakes, balloons, flowers, and similar items can interrupt learning, create challenges related to food allergies and dietary restrictions, and may not align with our wellness policy.

To help us maintain a safe, inclusive, and focused learning environment, we ask that families refrain from sending cupcakes, balloons, flowers, and similar items to school. If these items are brought to school, our staff will respectfully ask that they be taken back home.

If you would like to recognize your child's birthday or another special occasion with their classmates, we encourage non-disruptive classroom donations that support learning. Families are encouraged to contact their child's teacher or school office for ideas that are appropriate for the classroom.
