WGS Drop Off Reminders
Reminder: All K-8 students should be dropped at the “student drop off” sign at the north end of Winchester Grade School. If you need to walk your child into school for any reason, please park in the guest parking across from the office and use the main doors. All pre-k parents will continue past WGS to the Early Learning Center for drop-off. Our number one priority is school safety. Continually bypassing the drop-off line to drop students off east of the drop off point increases the risk of an accident. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the WGS office.
Two-Hour Delayed Start Information
October 18, 2018
Dear Parents / Guardians:
As we head into the winter season, we undoubtedly will face inclement weather days when school is in session. Most days we will be in school or will cancel school to ensure student/employee safety. We have a third option which is a two- hour delayed start. The delayed start will only be used if conditions are expected to improve significantly between 5AM and 9AM. Examples would be extremely cold temperatures, icy roads, freezing rain, or blowing/drifting snow.
Under the two-hour delay start scenario, parents will be notified the same way they do now through School Messenger, TV and radio. If a delayed start is being considered, parents will be notified the night before.
• A two-hour delayed start means school will start at 10:20 instead of 8:20. If your normal bus pickup is 7:15 – it will be 9:15 under delayed start.
• Morning Pre-K will not meet; Afternoon Pre-K will be in session as normal.
• Breakfast will NOT be served; lunch will be at normal times.
• School will be dismissed at the usual time.
A delayed start to school will not occur frequently, but we want everyone to be prepared.
Sincerely,
David C. Roberts
Superintendent
