📣 EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY UPDATE | PES

PES families, we have an important update for Early Release Wednesday as we continue working to make dismissal and car pickup as smooth and efficient as possible.

⏰ Dismissal will begin at 1:35 PM TOMORROW.

PES car pickup will utilize FIVE car lanes. Lanes will be available on a first come, first served basis, so families may pull into the next available lane as they arrive.

There will be no staggering between the five lanes. Once dismissal begins, cars will be released one full lane at a time, in order:

Lane 1 → Lane 2 → Lane 3 → Lane 4 → Lane 5

The entire first lane will move through pickup before Lane 2 begins, followed by Lane 3, Lane 4, and then Lane 5. Please remain in your vehicle and wait for staff direction before moving forward.

This process is designed to create a more organized and predictable traffic flow while helping us move students safely and efficiently.

As we continue adjusting the Early Release Wednesday process, we appreciate your patience and cooperation. Please follow staff directions and allow us a little time as everyone gets familiar with the new flow!

📣 EARLY RELEASE WEDNESDAY | SEPTEMBER 2

Early Release Wednesday is happening again this Wednesday, September 2!
As we continue working to make the process smoother and more efficient for our families, a few small changes are being made to improve the car pickup experience. We’ll share more information about those updates tomorrow for PES, so be on the lookout!

A few reminders as we prepare for Wednesday:

🚗 Remember the Horseshoe traffic flow for MDW and PJHS car pickup, and please continue to follow designated lanes and staff directions.

🏷️ MDW families: Please remember to have your car pickup tag clearly displayed in your vehicle. Having your tag visible and ready will help our staff identify students more quickly and keep the pickup line moving.

💬 Talk with your student and their teacher ahead of Wednesday about dismissal plans. We understand plans can change, but having that conversation ahead of time helps students and staff know what to expect and makes dismissal smoother for everyone.

⏰ Please take care of student checkouts before 1:15 PM. As dismissal approaches, office staff will be focused on coordinating students, transportation, and dismissal, so checkouts, phone calls, and other office communication will be limited after 1:15 PM.

📚 Students remaining on campus will continue to be engaged in educational activities until regular dismissal, and buses will run at their normal times.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue fine-tuning the Early Release Wednesday process!

There’s something new on the playground at Pocahontas Elementary!

New turf was recently installed, and our students wasted no time putting it to good use! They had the chance to get outside, play, and enjoy the new space — and it was definitely a hit.

We love seeing improvements like this come to life for our students. It’s a great addition to the PES playground and another way we’re continuing to improve the spaces our students enjoy each day!
