West Greene School District

With the school year quickly approaching, I wanted to remind everyone of the DROP-OFF and PICK-UP routine. Parents may begin dropping off students at 7:55 AM. Afternoon pick-up will begin at 3:05 PM. Students in grades K-6 who arrive after 8:30 AM will be marked "tardy" and need to be signed in to school at the main office. Elementary students who are getting picked up need to be picked up no later than 3:25 PM. I have attached a diagram of the route you should follow to drop off and pick up your child.
