Welcome Back, Wilmore Elementary Families!
We are so excited to open our doors and welcome our Bear Cubs to the 2026–2027 school year! As we prepare for the first day, we want to share a few important reminders to help make arrival and dismissal safe, smooth, and efficient for everyone.
🚗 Car Line Arrival
Families arriving by car have two options for morning arrival:
Front Car Line: You may use the front car line for morning drop-off.
Bus Lane: Beginning at 7:46 a.m., the bus lane will be open for cars to use once our buses have unloaded.
If you choose to use the bus lane loop for car line arrival, please remember these important safety procedures:
If a bus is loading or unloading and has its stop arm extended, you must stop. Never pass a bus with its stop arm out.
For the safest and most efficient traffic flow, we recommend that families using the bus lane turn left onto Campground Lane rather than entering the front loop traffic.
Please follow the directions of our staff members and be patient as we work to keep traffic moving safely.
Our goal is to provide multiple options for families while keeping students, buses, and vehicles moving safely and efficiently each morning.
🚗 Car Line Dismissal
Safety is our top priority, and your partnership is essential to making our car line work effectively.
Please stay in your vehicle. Our staff members are trained to assist students as they load into cars.
Whenever possible, students should load on the passenger side of the vehicle. This helps us keep students safely away from moving traffic.
If your child needs assistance with buckling their seatbelt, please pull forward past the stop sign and colored cones to the BLUE loading zones marked along the curb. You may also pull into a parking space in our lot.
Moving forward to these designated areas allows our staff to continue loading students while you take the time you need to safely buckle your child.
Please be patient during the first several days of school. We are teaching our students the dismissal procedures while also helping new families learn our system.
We promise that our goal is to have a car line that flows safely, effectively, and efficiently. Please allow us approximately two weeks for everyone to learn and become comfortable with the process.
🎥 Please Watch Before the First Day
Please take a few minutes to watch the linked video so you can become familiar with the arrival and dismissal flow at Wilmore Elementary. Knowing what to expect before you arrive will help our entire school community have a smoother start.
🏫 First Day Reminders
We look forward to welcoming our Bear Cubs on Monday, August 20, at 7:40 a.m.
If you plan to walk your student to class on the first day:
Please enter through the front doors.
You will need to sign in and receive a visitor badge.
Please be patient as you navigate parking. We know the first day can be exciting and busy!
We ask that families exit the building before 8:00 a.m. Teachers will close their doors and begin the school day promptly at 8:00.
🧸 Boo Hoo Breakfast
If you are a Kindergarten family or new to our school community, we invite you to join us for our Boo Hoo Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. in the Memory Garden, hosted by our wonderful PTO.
We are so excited to serve, support, and partner with you and your students throughout the 2026–2027 school year. Thank you in advance for your patience, flexibility, and partnership as we begin the year together.
Welcome back, Bear Cubs! We can't wait to see you! 🐻💚
