Drop Off and Pick Up Information

• Car Riders – Thank you to the parents who are utilizing our car rider line to drop off your children.  In an effort to keep our line moving efficiently, we ask that ALL student drop offs happen utilizing the car rider line.  When families drop off in the parking lot, it backs up the traffic director and we cannot process the drop off quickly.
• If another family member or trusted adult must pick your student up from school early, please be sure that they are listed in your student’s emergency contacts in Skyward. A valid ID must be shown when picking up a student from the main office.  All early pick-ups must happen prior to 4:00pm.

 

Bus Information

• Your bus assignment information will be available on Skyward shortly before the first day of school. For all Transportation information, please visit the Transportation website: https://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/transportation/ .
• Download the Here Comes The Bus app on your smart phone to track your child’s bus during the school year and to set up notifications when the bus gets close: https://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/transportation/bus-tracking/ .

 

Safety Requirement

For the safety of your students we want to be sure we have the most up to date and accurate information.  Please take a moment to log into Skyward Family Access – https://skyward.msdwt.k12.in.us – and complete the Data Clean-Up process. Parents will have the option to save and come back at a later time to complete the process. If you need additional guidance with this process, step by step directions can be found at http://www.msdwt.k12.in.us/cleanup. Log in credentials were sent via US mail to families in a Back to School packet.
