Kiss and Ride (Car line): Students being dropped off/picked up at school will utilize our kiss and ride line which is adjacent to the bus line. Kiss and Ride hang tags are to be visible in your car to assist in efficient dismissal process. Please pull forward as much as possible up to the stop sign.  Students may exit the car independently. All adults shall stay in their car.  Students must exit on the right side of the car lane.  For student's pick-up, a staff member will radio into the school, and the student will walk out to the car lane. 

Per the new PWCS cell phone policy, students will not have access to their cell phones.  Parents should avoid texting their child when they arrive to school for dismissal. 

Parent Pick up tags will be available at Summerfest and afterwards by visiting the main office. Replacement tags are $5 each (exact cash or check only).

To change dismissal for your child, please call or email the front office before 3:00 pm office at 703-369-6644 or [email protected]. This ensures that your child will be notified in an appropriate amount of time for transportation to change.

If your child is going home with another student or if you have a student coming to your house, both parents of the students must send a written dismissal change note to the front office.
