Woodlake

Viking Families,

As October comes to a close, thank you for your continued partnership and support. Please remember to participate in our SchoolStore fundraiser, if you have not already done so. Every contribution helps support our students and school programs.

This week, we will also be celebrating Red Ribbon Week, encouraging students to make healthy choices and lead drug-free lives.

We encourage all families to stay connected with their child's learning by regularly communicating with teachers and checking on academic progress. Working together helps ensure student success.

Thank you for all you do to support our school community. Have a wonderful end to October!

As a reminder, if you are dropping off students before 7:15 a.m., please use the back drop-off loop. The gate opens between 6:45 and 6:50 a.m.. Because it is still very dark in the mornings, the back parking lot provides a much safer environment for students to exit vehicles and enter campus.

We appreciate your partnership and commitment to student safety. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe each day.

Have a wonderful week!

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

• The back gate will open at 6:45am, but regular staff do not arrive until 7am, do not leave students unattended at anytime.
• Please do not drop off students in the bus lane and staff parking.
• At arrival please do not park in the car line and walk up to the door, we need to keep the car rider line moving, if your students need help, our staff will help them out of the car
