New This School Year
Escorted out of the building by staff through the entrance near the small circle and playground. Once released, left to independently walk through Parker Woods Preserve or around the front of the school to go down the Beech Hill steps. Unaccompanied Walkers are expected to walk to their after-school locations. They may not gather at the corner of Beech Hill and Langland to wait for pick-up. PWM staff is not responsible for monitoring Unaccompanied Walkers once they are released from the school building.
Accompanied Walkers
Parker Woods Preserve entrance near 3-6 playground/ small circle area (Families of accompanied Walker should meet their children at the Parker Woods Preserve entrance).
We ask for everyone to be patient and kind. If we all work together, we can ensure that every student arrives and departs safely. Thanks!!!
