Hello Wolf Canyon Families,

In preparation for the rainy days ahead, and the recent Board Policy requiring visitors to sign in, we made some tentative adjustments to our rainy-day dismissal protocols. 

With rain, you can expect increased traffic during drop-off and dismissal. Remember, SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE #1 PRIORITY! Please be patient in traffic and we encourage you to plan accordingly and always follow traffic and parking lot rules. 

The new protocols do not impact students who ride the school bus.

As we adapt to the new protocols, our administrative team will revise and make improvements as needed.
