Harrison Elementary School

Friendly reminder for our WCS families...

Dear Harrison Families of Canterbury, Like last year, all Harrison students from the Canterbury neighborhood will be afforded the opportunity to participate in a “walking bus” for the 2023-24 school year. Students may ride their bicycles or walk on their own (or with you), but may also participate in our “walking bus” as an option. How Does the “Walking Bus” Work? Morning Student Pick Up: A designated staff member of Harrison Elementary School will meet your student at the Canterbury Office at: Monday (9:25 a.m.) Tuesday-Friday (8:35 a.m.) 2-Hour Delay (10:35 a.m.) The designated Harrison staff member will depart the Canterbury Office promptly at the designated time and safely walk the group of students from Canterbury to Harrison Elementary School. The walk is approximately .4 miles (9 minutes). Students will be expected to be on time to the meeting location at the Canterbury Office each day. Students who arrive after the “walking bus” has departed from the Canterbury Office will be the responsibility of families to get to school. Importantly, students will walk on the sidewalk from Canterbury and Harrison Elementary at all times until reaching the designated crosswalk in front of the school. At that time, we will have a crossing guard assist our “walking bus” cross the street at the designated crosswalk and enter the building through Harrison’s front doors. After School Student Drop Off: At student dismissal at 3:50 p.m., students from Canterbury will be dismissed from their classrooms to the front foyer. A designated staff member of Harrison Elementary will convene all students from Canterbury at approximately 3:50-3:55 p.m. The designated Harrison staff member will depart Harrison Elementary at approximately 3:55 p.m. and walk the group of students from Harrison Elementary to the Canterbury Office. Again, the walk is approximately .4 miles (9 minutes). We will have a crossing guard assist the “walking bus” cross the street at the designated crosswalk. Thereafter, students will remain on the sidewalk between Canterbury and Harrison Elementary at all times until reaching the central meeting location at the Canterbury Office In limited situations when unsafe weather (lightning/storms) conditions warrant that a bus be sent to pick up students from Canterbury Office, student pick up will take place at approximately 9:50 a.m. on Monday and 9:00 a.m. Tuesday-Friday at the Canterbury Office. In this case, a text message will be sent to notify parents communicating that a bus will be sent in lieu or a staff member with the walking bus. Warsaw Community Schools is deeply committed to the safety and education of all of our students. In Partnership, Matt Deeds
