Dear Parents,

First, a huge THANK YOU to our families who have their children ready to exit cars quickly in the mornings! Your efforts help keep our drop-off process smooth, and we truly appreciate you.

Our dedicated staff are outside each morning to welcome students, rain or shine. On days with extreme temperatures or storms, the process can be more challenging, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation in following our safety protocols to ensure an efficient and safe drop-off for everyone.

We have an increase in traffic congestion between 7:45-7:58 AM, causing longer wait times. If your schedule allows, we encourage you to drop off between 7:30-7:45 AM, when traffic is lighter and cars move through more smoothly. This small adjustment can make a big difference in keeping the flow of traffic steady.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership—we appreciate you!

Buckeyes on the RISE,
Gina Treadway
Gilmer Elementary Principal
