Arrival Procedures

Students who ride the bus will be dropped off at the school at 8:25 a.m. After buses depart, parents should drop off children in the same lane that the buses use, staying close to the curb on the right. Cars will be allowed in the drop off lane no earlier than 8:15 a.m. For the safety of the students, parents are prohibited from using the employee parking area as a drop off point unless directed to do so by a Staff member on duty. Students who need to be dropped off earlier than 8:25 a.m. may participate in the Out of School Time program which provides care from 7:00 a.m. until the start of school. When dropping off your child, please stay in a single-file lane and follow the directions of the drop-off monitors. To protect the safety of the students and staff, refrain from passing other vehicles. Staff will be available to assist students so parents / guardians do not need to leave the vehicle.

Dismissal Procedures

Parent Pick-up Procedure: Students who do not ride the bus are dismissed directly to their vehicles in the parent pick-up lane starting at 2:45 p.m. No Parent / Guardian is allowed to wait in the pick up line before 2:15 p.m. Parents who regularly pick up students will receive a numbered tag to display from a rear view mirror or on a dash and will form a line on the right side of the school driveway. Do not block any intersections. For the safety of staff and students, do not attempt to pass other vehicles and follow the instructions of staff directing traffic.

In case of an emergency and you will not make it in time to pick-up your child at the assigned doors by 3:00 p.m., you will need to pick-up your child in the main office.

Bus Dismissal Procedure: Students who ride the bus are dismissed directly from their classroom. Buses are announced via the intercom, starting at approximately 2:55 p.m. Students exit from the front of the building to their respective buses. Buses leave WES and then go to the Macomber School to pick up Kindergarten students.

Please Note: Any changes to your child’s dismissal plan must be made by noon in writing/email to wesoffice@westportschools.org

Students arriving at school after 8:30 a.m. are considered tardy and must report to the office before proceeding to class. Excessive tardiness may result in consequences including, but not limited to, parent meetings and detention. Students who arrive at school after 11:30 a.m. or dismissed before 11:30 a.m. will be marked as absent.

Please note: Students must attend school for at least half of the school day in order to participate in any school-sponsored after-school activities.

Absences must be explained in writing to the classroom teacher the day of the student’s return to school. A doctor’s note may be requested following absences of five (5) or more days. Please call the school when your child is going to be absent. Phone messages may be left at any time on the school’s voice mail system (508-636-1075).

Please email all attendance correspondence to wesoffice@westportschools.org.

All dismissals for Dr. Appt etc need to be submitted in writing to the main office before 9:00 a.m. Please email wesoffice@westportschools.org
