We appreciate everyone's patience and flexibility today at afternoon carpool. As always the safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority.
Due to damage from today’s storm, DOT has closed Whitley Road/Cemetery Road. Therefore, traffic patterns and morning and afternoon carpool times will need to be modified. All parents will need to enter campus on Industrial Drive until further notice.
For morning and afternoon carpool, enter on Industrial Drive, then proceed to the stop sign where you will be directed by our staff. It is extremely important that you follow the directions of staff to ensure the safety of all.
Morning Carpool will begin at 7:30.
Afternoon carpool dismissal times are as follows. It is imperative that parents arrive at the correct time for your color carpool tag in order to accommodate all students using one carpool line.
2:00 High School Drivers will be dismissed (Burgundy Tags)
2:15 High School (Yellow Tags)
2:45 Elementary (Blue Tags)
3:15 Elementary/Middle School (Orange Tags)
3:30 Middle School (Green Tags)
1:30 is the latest time any student can be checked out.
If your student attends Wings, you will also enter on Industrial Drive. Enter campus by turning left at the stop sign where high school carpool usually exits. Continue straight and turn right onto the drive that goes back to the Wings building.
We will continue to delay carpool until lightning is no longer a threat. We are also monitoring the rising creek water on both sides. Thanks for your patience and cooperation!

All week we'll be celebrating our teachers and staff for all the work they do to help our students. Whether they are teaching in the classroom, providing behind-the-scenes support, or giving a "hello" to a student in the hallway, they are a big part of what makes EWA the excellent school it is.
