Drop Off & Pick Up Information

As an open-enrollment school, a large percentage of students are dropped off and picked up by personal vehicle. We need your help at the end of the day to ensure pick up goes smoothly and efficiently. Across the district, a good measure of pick-up procedures by the end of the first full week of school is 20 minutes, from bell to last student loading. That is also our goal. Please remember to have your car sign (your homeroom teacher will give you these) posted clearly in the windshield at pick up and keep it posted until your child is in the car to help us with this process. All K-2 students and their siblings will be dropped off and picked up in the WEST parking lot, entering Appleby heading north on Val Vista and exiting to Val Vista. If you drive southbound on Val Vista and turn directly onto Appleby, then you will need to go directly into our parking lot to park.

Dropping off your child on Val Vista Drive is absolutely not allowed.

All 3-6 grade students will be dropped off and picked up in the EAST parking lot with all traffic entering Appleby. The preferred route to the 3-6 parking lot is to use Queen Creek to get to 156th (near Perry High), then south to Appleby. If you choose to go northbound from 154th to Appleby from Ocotillo, please know that the side streets, shoulders, and driveways are all private property (refer to the second image for highlighted areas to avoid).

Note: Again, we love our neighborhood and appreciate our neighbor’s support. Many of the houses around WGA are owned by families who have been in this area well before the school was built. Please help us show respect for them by minding the posted speed limits, taking care not to block driveways and side streets, and keeping an eye out for pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
