Kiss
and Ride Procedures
The Safety and
Security Team at W. T. Woodson H.S. would like to highlight the Kiss and
Ride procedures, especially for those parents of our students new to
Woodson.
- Please make sure
that your child is dropped off before 8:00am
- The
morning and afternoon Kiss and Ride locations are in the front of the
school, extending from Doors #1 to #3 and in the rear of the school by Doors #8
and #9.
- It is
imperative to the flow of traffic that all cars pull forward as far as possible
to drop off their student.
- During
the morning, students are only allowed to be dropped off at Kiss
and Ride locations. Students are not allowed to be dropped off in the rear
parking lot or in school parking spaces. The rear parking lot is for staff
members and students who have purchased parking passes.
- Safety
and Security Team Members are outside to assist each morning and afternoon.
We recommend that
new parents become familiar with the locations before the start of school, to
see which of the locations is the most convenient for them.
The keys to a
successful Kiss and Ride are to obey all posted stop signs and school
signs, follow any directions given, and to follow the flow of traffic.
Thank you for
your cooperation.
