Woodlake

Viking Families,

As a reminder, attendance is important, and instruction begins promptly at 7:30 a.m. We understand that situations arise, but every minute in the classroom matters. Likewise, early pickups before 2:30 p.m. disrupt learning and cause students to miss valuable instructional time.

Please also help us keep our students safe during arrival, dismissal, and school events.

Do not park in our neighbors' driveways, and remember to follow all traffic laws and staff directions during dismissal. Student safety remains our top priority.

We encourage you to support our PTO T-shirt Sale, with all proceeds directly benefiting our students. We will also be launching our online School Store fundraiser soon. Be on the lookout for the fundraising lanyard coming home in your child's backpack.

Thank you for your partnership and commitment to our school community. Together, we can make this an outstanding year for all of our students!

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.

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.

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

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

Important Reminder

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.

ARRIVAL
