May 2 Transportation, Dismissal, and Aftercare Details
As we welcome our grandparents and special friends to campus on Friday, May 2, please note these important items:
- Carpooling or rotunda drop-off in the morning for guests is ideal to help with traffic flow.
- Upper school student drivers will park off-campus and ride the shuttle.
- There is no afternoon bus transportation offered by Wellington or area districts.
- There will be no aftercare for middle school or early childhood and lower school.
- We will offer a staggered dismissal plan for the early release. Car line pickup for those students without a grandparent or special friend in attendance should plan to arrive early to avoid the rush.
11 a.m. - Dismissal without guests – all grade levels
11:15 a.m. - Dismissal with guests – early childhood, lower school, middle school
11:30 a.m. - Dismissal with guests – upper school
