Nov 2 JH Basketball will be at home vs. Southeast instead of traveling. This means on January 11 we will travel to Southeast. This change is due to gym conflicts at SE.
WBE Fall Party & Costume Day Details!
Happy Monday, WBE Families!
We are so excited for our upcoming Fall Party on Friday, October 30 at 2:30 PM! Our students and staff are looking forward to a fun-filled afternoon of celebrating together.
To help make the day smooth, safe, and enjoyable for everyone, please take note of the following reminders:
Party Snacks & Refreshments
Our classroom teachers are working closely with Room Parents to plan our fall party treats and activities. In line with our district’s Wellness Policy, we strongly encourage healthy snack choices. To keep students with severe food allergies safe, we recommend snacks that have been commercially prepackaged and prepared in a professional kitchen. Thank you for helping us create a safe, healthy, and fun celebration for everyone!
Costume Guidelines
Students are invited to wear their costumes to school on Friday, October 30! To ensure our focus remains on learning and safety throughout the school day, please keep the following rules in mind when planning your child’s outfit:
Family-Friendly: Costumes must not feature blood, gore, or depictions of harm to self or others.
No Face Masks: Face masks are not permitted at school.
Prep at Home: Students choosing to participate in the dress-up day must arrive at school in costume. Temporary hair color and face paint may be worn, but must be fully applied at home before arriving at school.
Leave Props at Home: Any costume props (large accessories) that could disrupt learning or pose a safety risk are not allowed.
We can’t wait to see all the creative costumes and celebrate together on Friday! Thank you for your continued support in keeping West Bourbon Elementary a fun and safe place to learn.
Important Update: New Permanent Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up Procedures at WBE
Happy Monday, WBE Families!
To keep our dismissal and arrival routines safe, efficient, and consistent, our morning Student Drop-Off and afternoon Student Pick-Up procedures at West Bourbon Elementary will now follow the same traffic flow.
Please review the updated directions below to help ensure smooth transitions every day:
Entering: Whether arriving for morning drop-off or afternoon pick-up, please enter the parking lot using the southeast entrance near the softball field.
Traffic Flow: Drive west along the softball field toward the preschool building. As you approach the east side of the WBE gym, turn right so your driver’s side door will face the building.
Vehicle Loading/Unloading: Pull forward to the designated door so WBE staff can assist your child. Please remain in your vehicle, do not pass other cars in line, and exercise caution when exiting onto 5th Street, as our school buses will also be exiting through the same driveway.
Morning Student Drop-Off Door: We will use the northernmost single door on the east side of the gym.
Afternoon Student Pick-Up Doors: We will use the northernmost double doors on the east side of the WBE gym.
Walk-Up Option: If you prefer, you are always welcome to park in the lot and walk up to meet with WBE staff to pick up or drop off your student.
Visual Guide: Please check out the attached map for a clear representation of our Student Drop-Off / Student Pick-Up route.
Using a consistent traffic flow for both morning Student Drop-Off and afternoon Student Pick-Up ensures a process that is easy to follow and, most importantly, keeps our students safe
Thank you so much for your ongoing cooperation and support. Have a wonderful week!
Important Update: Today’s Student Pick-Up Procedure at West Bourbon Elementary
Happy Friday, WBE Families!
Because of construction at the southeast entrance of our parking lot near the softball field, today's afternoon Student Pick-Up will follow our morning Drop-Off procedure. To help dismissal run smoothly and safely, please follow these directions:
Entering: Please enter the parking lot using the north driveway off 5th Street.
Traffic Flow: Proceed around the perimeter of the parking lot in a clockwise direction.
Pick Up Zone: As you round the east side of the gym, your driver’s side door will face the building. Pull forward, and our WBE staff will guide your student directly to your vehicle.
Parking Option: If you prefer, you are also welcome to park in the parking lot and walk up to the pick-up area to meet your student.
Map: Refer to the map for a visual representation of the Student Pick-Up process for today.
With this unusual setup, patience, grace, and a strong commitment to safety will ensure every child gets home smoothly today. Thank you so much for your cooperation and support. Have a great weekend!
