Kiss and Ride Procedures
The Safety and Security Team 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.
PE Uniforms
