Good Morning Walls Family, This message contains specific information about dismissal from school. *Walkers and car riders are dismissed out of our two recess doors. If your child is a WALKER and you want to meet him/her to walk home, you MUST meet on the playground. Students who walk home down Doramor (front of school) may exit the front doors, but there will be NO PARENT PICKUP ON THE FRONT SIDEWALK. The bus riders exit the front of the building to board one of 8 busses coming to Walls, and we need this path clear for a safe dismissal. We apologize for the confusion during our dismissal yesterday and ask for your patience as we work together with the staff of Walls, our student safety patrol, and our transportation department to get your child home safely! Thank you for sharing your children with us at Walls Elementary School.
